Anna has $540 to spend at the bicycle shop → this means that she can spend the $540 or less, you can symbolize this as ≤ $540
Her costs include:
• A bicycle for ,$402.87
,
• 3 bicycle reflectors for $10.97/each, the total will be 3*10.97=,$32.91
,
• A pair of bike gloves for ,$14.42
,
• With the remaining money, she wants to buy as many biking outfits as possible. Let "o" represent the number of outfits she can buy, considering each one costs $44.90, then the total cost for the outfits can be symbolized as ,$44.90o
The calculation for her total expenses is the sum of everything she buys:
"Bicycle"+"Reflectors"+"Gloves"+"Outfits"≤$540
Using the costs listed above the expression is
[tex]402.87+32.91+14.42+44.90o\leq540[/tex]
Simplify the like terms, i.e. add the alone numbers together
[tex]450.20+44.90o\leq540[/tex]
