Question 1021740: A bicycle store cost $3600 per month to operate. The store pays an average of $70 per bike. The average selling price of each bike is $130. How many bikes must the store sell to break even?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3600+70x = 130x Let's flip it around, it will look nicer:
130x = 3600+70x Subtract 70x on both sides:
60x = 3600 Divide both sides by 60:
x = 60 bikes to break even
