Answer 1

Answer:

$57.50

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost of the available bicycle before taxes, we need to add another 15% to the original $50. To do that, all you do is multiply $50 by 15%, and then re-add the $50. Work is shown below:

First, change 15% into a decimal:

15% -> $\frac{15}{100}$ -> 0.15

Next, lets find the cost of the available bicycle:

$x=50(0.15)$

$x=7.5$

Now add the $50 back 7.5:

$50+7.5=57.50$

Your answer is B. $57.50
