Question

Gavin has $760 to spend at a bicycle store for some new gear and biking outfits. Assume all prices listed include tax.

He buys a new bicycle for $462.15.
He buys 2 bicycle reflectors for $10.81 each and a pair of bike gloves for $20.68.
He plans to spend some or all of the money he has left to buy new biking outfits for $56.94 each.

What is the greatest number of outfits Gavin can buy with the money that's left over?

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

First you do 760 - 462.15 (bike) which = 297.85.

Then you do 297.85 - 10.81 X 2 (reflectors) which = 276.23.

Next you do 276.23 - 20.68 (gloves) which = 255.55.

Finally, you do 255.55 / 56.94 (outfits) which = 4.488 (3 d.p)

That rounded down (as it would not equal to a full number ) would be 4
