Jerome earns $200 per month plus $12 for each bike he sells at the bike shop. This month, he wants to earn at least $400. What is the least amount of bikes that Jerome can sell to reach his goal

weird problem lol but you multiply 400 times 12 and divide by 200 which tells you he needs to sell at least 24 bikes

he needs to sell at least 17 bikes

he already has 200 per month
he needs 200 more

$12Ă—17(bikes)= $204
( any number less than 17 will not equal $200)

200+204=$404
