thats a derailier (sp..) and you can probably fix it yourself..but if your not sure take it to a bike shop and they should at least tell you whats wrong and how much it would cost to get it fixed or how to fix it yourself

you probably need a new hander and derailur with will run you like $12 for the hanger and anything from $20-100 for the derailur depending on the quailty of it. all the times thats happened to me i just lie and say its under warranty so i dont pay for labor but its not to hard so they will probably charge you like $20-30 if they are fair

it depends. from what i see it just looks like your drop outs broke which would be really cheap to fix but if your whole deraileur broke that might get a bit pricy
