Answer 1

To find the selling price of the motorcycle, we need to subtract the amount it was sold for less than the buying price from the buying price.

The buying price is $4,375.00, and it was sold for $452.25 less than this price.

First, we calculate the selling price:

\[ \text{Selling price} = \text{Buying price} - \text{Amount less} \]

\[ \text{Selling price} = 4,375.00 - 452.25 \]

Now performing the subtraction:

\[ 4,375.00 - 452.25 = 3,922.75 \]

Thus, the selling price of the motorcycle is $3,922.75.

So, the correct answer is $3,922.75.
