First, we need to calculate the discounted price of the bicycle after the 40% discount is applied to the original price of $150.
1. Calculate the discount amount:
\[
\text{Discount} = 150 \times 0.40 = 60
\]
2. Subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price:
\[
\text{Sale Price} = 150 - 60 = 90
\]
Next, we will apply the sales tax of 7% to the sale price.
3. Calculate the amount of sales tax:
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 90 \times 0.07 = 6.30
\]
4. Add the sales tax to the sale price to get the final total cost:
\[
\text{Final Total Cost} = 90 + 6.30 = 96.30
\]
It appears there was a mistake in the final calculation. I will aggregate again for verification:
1. **Discount Calculation:**
\[
\text{Discount} = 150 \times 0.40 = 60 \rightarrow \text{Sale Price} = 150 - 60 = 90
\]
2. **Tax Calculation:**
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 90 \times 0.07 = 6.30 \rightarrow \text{Final Total Cost} = 90 + 6.30 = 96.30
\]
After recalculating the initial discount and sales tax correctly, we find that the final total cost of the bicycle is:
The correct results yield no option, as it calculates as $96.30.
None of the listed answer choices are correct based on this calculation. However, if you were looking for rounded simple sums or if the discount applied differently, please note that I performed based on standard conditions.
