Word problem

Anthony sold his bike and accessories for $172. If he received three times as much money for the bike as he did for the accessories, find how much he received for the bike

Susan N.

If the cost of the accessories is x then the cost of the bike is 3x. 
We have 3x + x = 4x = 172
Divide both sides by 4, we have x= 48. 
Multiply both sides by 3, we have 3x = 48 x 3 = 144.
So he received $144 for his bike/ 
Hope that helps
