Question

Delaney wants to sell her bicycle the original price of the bike was $150.
The bikes value has changed by -2/5 of the original price What is the
current value of the bike? (1 point)

$375

$60

$90

$149.60

Answer 1

To find the current value of Delaney's bicycle, we first need to calculate how much the bike's value has decreased, which is given as -2/5 of the original price.

1. Original price of the bike = $150
2. Decrease in value = \(-\frac{2}{5} \times 150 = -60\)

Now, we subtract the decrease from the original price:

\[
\text{Current value} = \text{Original price} - \text{Decrease in value} = 150 - 60 = 90
\]

Therefore, the current value of the bike is **$90**.
