Answer:
a) $160
b) $116.50
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Let the original price of the yellow bicycle be $x.
Since both has the same original price,
original price of yellow bicycle= 100% x
original price of green bicycle= 100% x
Discounted price of yellow bicycle
= (100% -25%) x
= 75% x
Discounted price of green bicycle
= (100% -30%) x
= 70% x
Difference in cost
= 75%x -70%x
= 5% x -----(1)
From 2nd paragraph:
Discounted price of yellow bicycle
= Kyreen's money +3.50
Discounted price of green bicycle
= Kyreen's money -4.50
Difference in cost
= (Kyreen's money +3.50) -(Kyreen's money -4.50)
= Kyreen's money +3.50 -Kyreen's money +4.50
= 3.50 +4.50
= 8.00 -----(2)
Equating (1) and (2) together:
5% x= 8.00
x= 8 ×20
x= 160
Thus, the original price of the yellow bicycle is $160.
