Solution

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

  • The bicycle costs $303.02.
  • Each reflector costs 3.53andhebought2,sothetotalcostforthereflectorsis23.53 and he bought 2, so the total cost for the reflectors is 2 * 3.53 = $7.06.
  • The gloves cost $28.12.

So, the total cost for these items is 303.02+303.02 + 7.06 + 28.12=28.12 = 338.20.

Samuel started with 560,soafterbuyingtheseitems,hehas560, so after buying these items, he has 560 - 338.20=338.20 = 221.80 left.

Each biking outfit costs 55.45.TofindouthowmanyoutfitsSamuelcanbuy,wedividetheamountofmoneyhehasleftbythecostofeachoutfit:55.45. To find out how many outfits Samuel can buy, we divide the amount of money he has left by the cost of each outfit: 221.80 / $55.45 = approximately 4.

Therefore, Samuel can afford to buy 4 biking outfits with the money he has left.
