Sam’s parents agreed to pay 25 percent of the cost of a new bike if Sam paid the rest.If Sam’s parents paid $65, what was the price of Sam’s new bike?

100 divided by 25 equals 4. If 25% of 100% was paid (65$), multiply 65 by the remaining "3 25%" (65 multiplied by 3 equals 195). Sam paid a total of $195 (75%), his parents paid a total of $65 (25%), and the total cost of the bike was $260.
