Question

Zendaya has $700 to spend at a bicycle store for some new gear and biking outfits. Assume all prices listed include tax.
She buys a new bicycle for $242.33.
She buys 3 bicycle reflectors for $7.17 each and a pair of bike gloves for $33.68.
She plans to spend some or all of the money she has left to buy new biking outfits for $77.40 each.

Answer 1

The number of new biking outfits that Zendaya can buy will be 5 outfits

Let the number of new biking outfits that can be purchased be x

Amount to spend = $700

Based on the information given, the equation to use will be:

242.33 + (3 × 7.17) + 33.68 + (77.40 × x) = 700

242.33 + 21.51 + 33.68 + 77.40x = 700

Collect like terms

77.40x = 700 - 242.33 - 21.51 - 33.68

77.40x = 402.48

x = 402.48/77.40

x = 5.2

The number of new biking outfits that Zendaya can buy is 5 outfits
