Solution

First, let's calculate the total cost of the items Melanie has already bought:

  • The bicycle costs $382.14.
  • Each reflector costs 5.72andshebought3,sothetotalcostforthereflectorsis3∗5.72 and she bought 3, so the total cost for the reflectors is 3 * 5.72 = $17.16.
  • The gloves cost $27.55.

So, the total cost for these items is 382.14(bicycle)+382.14 (bicycle) + 17.16 (reflectors) + 27.55(gloves)=27.55 (gloves) = 426.85.

Melanie started with 660,soafterbuyingtheseitems,shehas660, so after buying these items, she has 660 - 426.85=426.85 = 233.15 left.

Each biking outfit costs 46.63.TofindouthowmanyoutfitsMelaniecanbuy,wedividetheamountofmoneyshehasleftbythecostofeachoutfit:46.63. To find out how many outfits Melanie can buy, we divide the amount of money she has left by the cost of each outfit: 233.15 / $46.63 = 5 outfits (rounded down to the nearest whole number, since she can't buy a fraction of an outfit).

So, Melanie can buy 5 biking outfits with the money she has left.
