Cameron has $720 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 $200.75.
He buys 4 bicycle reflectors for $12.29 each and a pair of bike gloves for $20.49.
He plans to spend some or all of the money he has left to buy new biking outfits for $70.25 each.

Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine xx, the number of outfits Cameron can purchase while staying within his budget.

Answer 1

The inequality which can be used to determine x, the number of outfits Cameron can purchase while staying within his budget is 720 ≤ 270.4 + 70.25x

Given:

Amount with Cameron = $720

Cost of new bicycles = $200.75

Cost of 4 bicycle reflectors = $12.29 × 4

= $49.16

Cost of bike gloves = $20.49

Cost of new banking outfit = $70.25

let

number of outfits = x

The inequality:

720 ≤ 200.75 + 49.16 + 20.49 + (70.25 × x)

720 ≤ 270.4 + 70.25x

720 - 270.4 ≤ 70.25x

449.6 ≤ 70.25x

x ≤ 449.6 / 70.25

x ≤ 6.4

• He can only purchase a whole value of outfits, not a decimal number

Therefore, the number of outfits Cameron can purchase is 6 pairs
