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.
