To determine the maximum number of outfits Bashir can purchase while staying within his budget, we need to set up an inequality that represents the total amount he spends being less than or equal to the amount he has to spend.First, let's calculate the total amount Bashir spends on the bicycle, reflectors, and gloves:- Bicycle:
4.88 each =
10.21Now, let's add these amounts together:
19.52 +
245.25Next, we need to represent the total amount Bashir spends on biking outfits. Let's denote the number of outfits he buys as
. Each outfit costs
73.36x.Now, we need to set up the inequality to represent the total amount spent being less than or equal to
245.25 + 73.36x \leq 420
73.36x + 245.25 \leq 420$
