Solution
The correct option is B $26
The exact cost of each bicycle can be found by dividing 2596 by 104.
The approximate value can be found by rounding off the dividend and the divisor and then dividing them.
Using the property of division by 100, where the last two digits will be the remainder and the remaining the quotient, we have:
2600 ÷ 100 = 26
∴ The cost of each bicycle is approximately $26.
