Question

Anthony tedesco sold his used mountain bike and accessories for $308. If he received six times as much money for the bike as he did for the acessories, find how much money he received for the bike

Answer 1

he received $1,848 dollars

Answer 2

a + b = 308
b = 6a

a + 6a = 308
7a = 308
a = 308/7
a = 44

b = 6a
b = 6(44)
b = 264

so he received $ 44 for the accessories and $ 264 for the bike
