B) 231

To get the answer, you first need to figure out how many men are in the book club:
- Multiply the total number of members (315) by the fraction of members that are men (4/15)
- (4/15) * 315
- Multiply 4 by 315, and then divide by 15.
- This will give you the number of men (84)

Then you need to figure out how many women there are:
- Subtract the number of men (84) from the total number of members (315)
- 315 total members - 84 male members = 231 female members

M+f=315
m=4*315/15
m=1260/15
m=84

f=315-84
f=231

Arnold wants to buy two bicycles. Which shop provides the lowest price on the bicycles?

In-s [12.5K]

Bob's Bikes
260 × 0.2 = 52
260 - 52 = 208
208 × 2 = $416.00

Walt's Wheels
300 × 0.6 = 180
300 - 180 = 120
120 × 2 = $240.00

Carson's Cycles
310 × 0.1 = 31
310 - 31 = 279
279 × 2 = $558.00
(i can't read what it says for $50, comment below if it makes a difference, i'll edit)

Tino's Transportation
260 ÷ 2 = 130
260 + 130 = $390.00

B) Walt's Wheels provides the lowest price for two bicycles.
