Answer 2

For this case we propose a rule of three, in order to know the original price of the bicycle:

$ 93 ----------------> 60%

x ---------------------> 100%

Where the variable "x" represents the original cost of the bicycle. So:

`x = \frac {100 * 93} {60}\\x = \frac {9300} {60}\\x = 155`

Thus, the original cost of the bike was $ 155
