efan spent originally to buy the bike and helmet. How much did Stefan spend originally? How
Ich money did he make by selling the bicycle and helmet to Jin?

Answer 1

Look below

Explanation:

Let's first find how much Jin paid for the bicycle and the helmet:

$163+$17=$180

Now we find what Stefan originally paid for the bicycle and the helmet by using x as the original price:

150%x=180

150/100(x)=180

Simplify the fraction:

3/2(x)=180

x=180*2/3

x=120

Now we find how much he made:

180-120=60

Stefan originally spent $120 and made $60 selling the bicycle and helmet to Jin.
