Question

Shaun's parents agreed to pay 2/5 of the cost of a

bike, if he was able to save the rest. If his parents
gave him $92, how much did the bike cost?

Answer 1

The bike was $230

Explanation:

If 2/5 is $92 you can divide 92 by two like so,

92 ÷ 2 = 46

So ONE fifth is 46 to find out the total (5/5) you multiply by 5 so it would turn up like this,

46 × 5 = 230

The bike was $230

Hope that helps and have a great day!
