Since the main goal for Marco is to stay under his budget which is 279, it's expected that he would want to spend less than or equal to his budget and that is the point to spend less than our goal of spending limit. If the cost of uniform and the cost of each of his classes are less than how much money he wants to spend, than that is going to still be within his budget even if the equation equals to 279 it is still within his budget anything greater would be consider over spending past his budget. Therefore making all other equations false.
