Problem:

Cory used 2/3 of his money to buy a used bicycle. He then bought a new helmet for $45.00 and had $15.85 left over. How much did he payed for the bicycle?

PLease show work and answer to me.

Answer
x = total amount of money Cory had.
2x/3 + 45 + 15.85 = x
2x/3 + 60.85 = x
x/3 = 60.85
x = $182.55
2/3(182.55) = $121.70 cost of bike

HOW can you paraphrase this?

The use of a helmet is the key to reducing bicycling fatalities, which are due to head injuries 75% of the time. By cushioning the head upon impact, a helmet can reduce accidental injury by as much as 85%, saving the lives of hundreds of victims annually, half of whom are school children

Answer
If you don't wear a helmet you'll die.
