Answer:

The total cost of the bike is $180.

Explanation:

Given that Juanita has saved 35% of the money for a bike.

Let the total cost of the bike = x

As she has saved $63 dollars which represents the 35% of the money for a bike.

In other words, 35% of the total cost is $63 dollars.

As the total cost = x

Thus,

35% of x = 63


(35)/(100)x=63

Multiply both sides by 20


20* (35)/(100)x=63* \:20

simplify


7x=1260

Divide both sides by 7


(7x)/(7)=(1260)/(7)

Simplify


x=180 $

Thus, the total cost of the bike is $180.
