Answer:
The total cost of the bike is $180.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Juanita has saved 35% of the money for a bike.
Let the total cost of the bike = x
As she has saved $63 dollars which represents the 35% of the money for a bike.
In other words, 35% of the total cost is $63 dollars.
As the total cost = x
Thus,
35% of x = 63
[tex]\frac{35}{100}x=63[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 20
[tex]20\times \frac{35}{100}x=63\times \:20[/tex]
simplify
[tex]7x=1260[/tex]
Divide both sides by 7
[tex]\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{1260}{7}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]x=180[/tex] $
Thus, the total cost of the bike is $180.
