A motorcycle shop maintains an inventory of four times as many new bikes as used bikes. If there are 96 new bikes, how many used bikes are now in stock?

Given data:

The expression for the new bikes as compared to used bies is n=4x.

The numbers of new bikes are n=96.

Substitute 96 for n in the given expression.


\begin{gathered} 96=4x \\ x=24 \end{gathered}

Thus, the numbers of used bikes are 24.
