Sam’s parents agreed to pay 25 percent of the cost of a new bike if Sam paid the rest. If Sam’s parents paid $65, what was the price of Sam’s new bike?
The original price would be 260 I think. Because if they paid 25% that should be 1/4 so add 65 three more times.
The price of Sam's new bike is given by $260.
Percentage is a mathematical measurement of any number or quantity out of 100.
Let the price of Sam's new bike be x.
Sam' parent paid 25% of the cost.
So they paid = x*(25/100) = 25x/100
Now it is also given that the exact amount paid by his parent is $65.
Then according to the question,
25x/100 = 65
25x = 65*100
25x = 6500
x = 6500/25
x = 260
Hence the price of Sam's new bike is $260.
