a bicycle and a bicycle helmet cost $240 how much did each cost if the bicycle cost 5 times as much as the helmet

Respuesta :

Answer:

$40 and $200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the helmet's cost be x

Then bicycle costs = 5x

Condition:

=> x+5x = 240

=> 6x = 240

Dividing both sides by 6

=> x = $40

So

Helmet's Cost = x = $40

Bicycle's Cost = 5x = $200
