Store should sell about 31 bicycle for average price of $135 each bicycle.

Explanation:

  • To find bike we need Algebra to solve the equation.
  • when x = 1 , Y = 135 *x
  • When x 2 , Y = 135 *2
  • Formula you could apply to go for break even y = 135*x
  • Bicycle store pays about $4200
  • Algebra used for every business and working to make easy task.
  • It takes about 31 bicycle a month to get into break even.
  • Every store needs break even to not incur lost.
  • Break even point is equilibrium between income and expenses.
