Anthony Tedesco sold his used mountain bike and accessories for ​$220. If he received four times as much money for the bike as he did for the​ accessories, find how much money he received for the bike?

Respuesta :

We need to set up an equation for this (with a being the accessories) and then solve.

4a+a=220
5a=220
--   ----
5     5
a=44

So now we know the accessories cost $44. The bike cost 4 times as much. 44x4=176.

He received $176 for the bike.
