Let's break this down step by step:

The original price of the scooter was **$120**. The value of the scooter decreased by $\frac{1}{4}$ of the original price.

### Step 1: Calculate $\frac{1}{4}$ of the original price.
\[
\frac{1}{4} \times 120 = 30
\]

### Step 2: Subtract this amount from the original price to find the new value.
\[
120 - 30 = 90
\]

So, the current value of the scooter is **$90**.

Here are 5 related questions to consider:
1. What if the value had increased by $\frac{1}{4}$? What would the new price be?
2. How would the current value change if the decrease was $\frac{1}{3}$ of the original price?
3. What fraction decrease would result in a current value of $60?
4. How would you handle a price increase instead of a decrease in such problems?
5. If the price had dropped by $45 instead of a fraction, what would the current value be?

**Tip:** When working with fractions of amounts, always multiply the fraction by the original value to calculate the exact change.
