The cost of the bicycle is 48. Because simply multiply 110 by 2 which is 4 unicycles and 2 bicycles. Now you have 220 by 4 unicycles and 2 bicycles, you subtract 220 to 268 which is equal to 48. The cost of one bicycle is 48 dollars.

What are word problems?

Word problems are a mathematical interpretation by using variables, numbers, and arithmetic operations to solve real-life problems.

From the given information:

  • kevin: 2U + 3B = 110 --- (1)
  • Greg: 4U + 3B =268 ---- (2)

We have a system of equations, and we can solve for the cost of1 bicycle

Using the Elimination method:

4U + 3B = 268

-2U + 3B = 110

2U + 0    = 158

U = 158/2

U = 79

The cost of 1 bicycle = 4(U) - 268

= 4(79) - 268

= 316 - 268

= $48
