A bycicle store costs 2,800 per month to operate the store pays an average of 45$ per bike the average selling price of each bycicle is 125 $ how many bycicles must the store sell each month to break even?

(125 - 45)x = 2800

Solve for x.

35 To determine the number of bicycles the store must sell each month to break even, we need to consider the store's expenses and the revenue it generates from selling bicycles.

First, let's calculate the store's fixed monthly costs. In this case, the store's monthly operating cost is $2,800.

Next, let's calculate the profit made on each bike sold. The store pays an average of $45 per bike and sells them for an average price of $125. The profit per bike is calculated as the selling price minus the cost price, which gives us $125 - $45 = $80.

To break even, the store needs to cover its fixed costs by generating enough profit to cover them. So, the number of bikes sold to break even can be calculated by dividing the total fixed costs by the profit per bike.

Number of bikes sold = Total fixed costs / Profit per bike
Number of bikes sold = $2,800 / $80

Calculating this, we find that the store needs to sell approximately 35 bicycles each month to break even.

Therefore, the store must sell at least 35 bicycles per month to cover its expenses and reach the breakeven point.
