Question

Amy wants to buy a new and bigger bike. She visits the same store where she purchased her old bike. The manager says the new and bigger bike costs 25 dollars less than three times the cost of her old bike. If she spent 65 dollars on her old bike, how much does the new and bigger bike cost?

Answer 1

Her new bike costs 170 dollars

195-25=x
170=x
The new bike costs $170
