Answer:

$643.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let i be the profit realized from the sale and d be the discount made on the sale:

#John's selling price can be calculated by first adding profit, i to $450, the d to the new price as:

[tex]P_n=P_o(1+i)+d[P_o(1+i)]\\=450(1+0.3)+0.1[450(1+0.3)]\\\\\\=450\times 1.3+0.1(450\times1.3)\\\\=585+58.5\\\\=643.50[/tex]

Hence, John will resell the bike at $643.50
