Solution

Cost of the bike $= $ 223.89$
Cost of the helmet $= $ 29.50$
Total cost of the bike and the helmet $= $ 223.89 + $ 29.50 = $ 253.39$

You paid the total amount using two gift cards, which are of equal value, and an additional amount of $$ 3.39.$
Total cost $=$ Value of the two gift cards $+$ additional amount
Using the related fact family equation for subtraction, we can write:
Total cost $-$ Additional amount $=$ Value of two gift cards
$$ 253.39 - $ 3.39 =$ Value of two gift cards
$$ 250 =$ Value of two gift cards
Value of two gift cards $= $ 250$
Value of one gift card $= $ 250 \div 2 = $ 125$
