Answer:

D


Step-by-step explanation:

74.90 is the price of bicycle AND helmet together AFTER 30% discount.

  • Before discount bicycle was 85
  • Before discount helmet was [tex]h[/tex]

So sum is [tex]85+h[/tex]


This sum should be discounted 30% to get our discounted price (which is 74.9)

Discounting something by 30% means multiplying that thing by [tex]1-0.3=0.7[/tex]


So now we have 0.7 multiplied with the sum of [tex]85+h[/tex], which will give us 74.9. This in equation is:

[tex]0.7(85+h)=74.90[/tex]

Answer choice D is correct.
