Answer 2

a bicycle store costs $2800 per month to operate. The store pays an average of $35 per bike . The average selling price of each bicycle is $105. How many bicycles must the store sell each month to break even ?​

we have that

`2,800+35x=105x`

solve for x

105x-35x=2,800

70x=2,800

x=40

answer is 40 bicycles
