Stefan sells Jin a bicycle for $149 and a helmet for ​$19. The total cost for Jin is 140% of what Stefan spent originally to buy the bike and helmet. How much did Stefan spend​ originally? How much money did he make by selling the bicycle and helmet to​ Jin?

Answer:

$120

$48

Step-by-step explanation:

total amount Jin spent = cost of bicycle + cost of helmet

$149 + $19 = $168

This equation can be derived from the question :

1.4 x t = 168

where t = total cost Stephan spent on the helmet and bicycle

t = 168/1.4 = $120

Profit = selling price - cost price

$168 - $120 = $48
