Solution

At Store Q, the bicycle’s regular price is $15\%$ more than the price at Store P, or $15\%$ more than $200.

Since $15\%$ of 200 is $\frac{15}{100}\times200=0.15\times200=30$ , then $15\%$ more than $200 is$ \$200+\$30 $or$ \$230$.

This bicycle is on sale at Store Q for 10% off of the regular price, $230.

Since $10\%$ of 230 is $\frac{10}{100}\times230=0.10\times230=23$ , then $10\%$ off of $230 is$ \$230-\$23 $or$ \$207$.
The sale price of the bicycle at Store Q is $207.
