17% divide 100% times $450 = $76.5

$450 - $76.5 = $373.5

Answer:

The new price for the bicycle is $373.5

Explanation:

We are given that a bicycle cost $450. There is a 17% store discount.

We have to find the new price for the bicycle after applying this discount rate.

So, as we know that because of discount the price of any item decreases which means that the new price of bicycle will be less than $450.

New price of bicycle = Original price - Amount of discount on bicycle

Amount of discount on bicycle = Discount rate
* Original price of bicycle

= 17%
* $450

=
(17)/(100) * 450 = $76.5

So, New price of bicycle = $450 - $76.5 = $373.5

Therefore, the new price for the bicycle is $373.5.
