Let

x------> the price of a bike in Store B

y------> the price of a bike in Store A

we know that

[tex]y=\frac{5}{6}x[/tex] ------> equation A

[tex]y=\$150.60[/tex]

Substitute the value of y in equation A

[tex]150.60=\frac{5}{6}x[/tex]

Solve for x

Multiply by [tex]\frac{6}{5}[/tex] both sides

[tex]x=\frac{6}{5}*150.60\\\\x=\$180.72[/tex]

Find the difference of the price Store B and Store A

[tex]\$180.72-\$150.60=\$30.12[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

[tex]\$30.12[/tex]
