Ryan bought 2 bikes, b, four new wheel reflectors, and a bike horn for $8.
Each reflector cost $4.25.
His total cost for the bike and reflectors was $283.50.
Write the equation to solve for the cost of the bike.
How much did Ryan pay for each bike?
:
2b + 4(8) + 8 = 283.50
2b + 40 = 283.50
2b = 283.50 - 40
2b = 243.50
b = 243.50/2
b = $121.75 for each bike
