Answer 1

To find the current value of the bike after it has depreciated, we first need to calculate how much the value has changed.

1. **Calculate the amount of change in value:**
\[
\text{Change in value} = \frac{-2}{5} \times \text{Original price} = \frac{-2}{5} \times 150
\]
\[
= -60
\]

2. **Calculate the current value:**
\[
\text{Current value} = \text{Original price} + \text{Change in value} = 150 + (-60)
\]
\[
= 150 - 60 = 90
\]

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