Explanation

Let bicycle price be 3x and scooter be 20x. 20x - 3x = 59500 => 17x = 59500 => x = 3500. Total price = 23x = 23 * 3500 = 80500.

AI explanation

Let the price of the bicycle be 3x and the price of the scooter be 20x. The difference in their prices is 20x - 3x = 17x, which equals 59,500 rupees. Solving for x, x = 59,500 / 17 = 3,500 rupees. The total price of both items is 3x + 20x = 23x, which is 23 * 3,500 = Rs. 80,500.
