The inequality to determine the number of outfits Zendaya can purchase while staying within her budget is

269.88 + 4*10.57 + 17.76 + 65.65x ≤ 540

And the number of outfits Zendaya can buy is 3 .

According to the question we have been given that the

Total money Zendaya has = $540

Cost of new bicycle = $269.88

Cost of bicycle reflectors = $10.57

Cost of bike gloves = $17.76

Cost of biking outfits = $65.65

Let the number of outfits Zendaya purchases be x.

The inequality to determine the number of outfits Zendaya can purchase while staying within her budget is

269.88 + 4*10.57 + 17.76 + 65.65x ≤ 540

Now solving this inequality for x we get

269.88 + 42.28 + 17.76 + 65.65x = 540

329.92 + 65.65x = 540

65.65x = 210.08

x = 3.2 ≈ 3

Thus number of outfits Zendaya can buy is 3
