Question

Pretend you have a job building tricycles. If you had $100$ handle bars, $150$ wheels, and $75$ seats. How many pedals would you need in order to make $\$50.00$? Assume that every tricycle sells for$\$4.00$.

• A. $21$
• B. $26$
• C. $30$
• D. $42$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$26$

Explanation for the correct option:

Option (B):

Finding the number of pedals:

Given that every tricycle is sold at an amount $=\$4.00$

And Total selling cost $=\$50.00$

Now, the number of tricycles sold $=\frac{50}{4}=12.5$

Since there is no possibility of number $12.5$ as it is a number of tricycle.

Therefore, assume it is $13$

So, the number of tricycles sold to make $\$50.00$ $=13$

As we know that every tricycle needs two pedals.

Therefore, the required number of pedals $=13\times 2=26$

Hence, option (B) is the correct answer.
