Solution

First, let's calculate the total amount Rahul spent on the bicycle, reflectors, and gloves.

He bought a bicycle for 378.51.Hebought2reflectorsat378.51. He bought 2 reflectors at 10.51 each, so 2 * 10.51=10.51 = 21.02. He bought a pair of gloves for $29.74.

So, the total amount spent on these items is 378.51(bicycle)+378.51 (bicycle) + 21.02 (reflectors) + 29.74(gloves)=29.74 (gloves) = 429.27.

Rahul started with 720.Afterbuyingthebicycle,reflectors,andgloves,hehas720. After buying the bicycle, reflectors, and gloves, he has 720 - 429.27=429.27 = 290.73 left.

Each biking outfit costs 55.16.Tofindouthowmanyoutfitshecanbuy,wedividetheremainingamountbythecostofeachoutfit:55.16. To find out how many outfits he can buy, we divide the remaining amount by the cost of each outfit: 290.73 / $55.16.

This gives approximately 5.27. Since Rahul can't buy a fraction of an outfit, he can buy 5 outfits with his remaining money.
