Question

A motorcycle shop maintains an inventory of four times as many new bikes as used bikes. If there are 96 new bikes, how many used bikes are now in stock?

Answer 1

Given data:

The expression for the new bikes as compared to used bies is n=4x.

The numbers of new bikes are n=96.

Substitute 96 for n in the given expression.

`\begin{gathered} 96=4x \\ x=24 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the numbers of used bikes are 24.
