The price of a mountain bike increased by 20% in the past year the value is $150 what was the value of the mountain bike last year

I hope I am reading the problem right: The price of a mountain bike increased by 20% in the past year. The value is $150. What was the value of the mountain bike last year?

Let's simplify this. One year, there was this radical mountain bike that used to have an unsaid price, x. That year, that price of x increased by 20% more than it was before, or 120% times the original value. Because of that, it's now $150.

We can equation this.

1.20x = 150

x = 150/1.2

x = 125

The bike, I believe, cost $125 last year. Hope this helps!

sorry if this is wrong, i'm new.

step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
