See below

Explanation:

So you want only equation, right?
Carol spend less than #$850#, lets assume it cost him $C.

#C<850#

'C' inclides shipping charges also , say y is cost without shipping charges.

So #y+45 <850#

#y<850-45#

#y<805#

Let x be cost of computer with tax. Tax rate is #4%# , so #y=1.04x#

#1.04x <805#

You can solve further.
