She plans to spend some or all of the money she has left to buy new biking outfits
for $75.88 each.

We want to find an inequality that says how many outfits Samantha could buy.

The solution is x ≤ 2

We know that she has $600 to spend.

She already spent:

  • $392.25 in her bicycle
  • 3 bicycle reflectors for $7.01 each, so the total is: 3*$7.01 = $21.03
  • $34.96 in a pair of gloves.

The total amount she already spent is:

$392.25 + $21.03 + $34.96 = $448.24

The amount of money that she has left is:

$600 -  $448.24 = $151.76

Ok, now we know that each outfit costs $75.88

So the price of x of these will be x times $75.88

price = $75.88*x

This must be equal or smaller than the amount of money that she has left:

$75.88*x ≤ $151.76

x ≤ $151.76/$75.88 = 2

x ≤ 2

This is the inequality that represents the number of outfits that she can buy.
