Respuesta :

Answer:

Original amount = $110

Amount made = $66

Explanation:

IF Stephen sells Jin a bicycle for $160 and a helmet for $16.00, the total cost is expressed as;

Total cost = $160 + $16.00

Total cost for Jan = $176.00

If total cost for Jan is 160% of what Steven spent originally to buy the bike and helmet, then;

176.00 = 160% of x

x is the amount spent by steven originally to buy bike and helmet

Solve fof=r x;

176 = 1.6x

x = 176/1.6

x = $110

Hence steve spent $110 originally

Amount made by selling the bicycle + helmet to Jen = $176 - $110

Amount made by selling the bicycle + helmet to Jen = $66.0

Hence Amount made by selling the bicycle + helmet to Jen s $66.00
