Answer 1

$205

Explanation:

A coupon is an authentic paper that shows the amount of a given discount when purchasing a particular good.

The cost of the bike = $260.

The worth of the coupon = $55

Amount paid by Sarah for the bike = the cost of the bike - the worth of the coupon

= 260 + (-55)

= 260 - 55

= 205

Thus, Sarah paid $205 for her bike.
