A store sells one model of bicycle for $250.
a. Write an expression for the amount of money the store receives if it sells b bicycles.
b. How much would the store make if it sells 5 bicycles.
250b = m
250 * 5 = m
a. To calculate the amount of money the store receives if it sells b bicycles at $250 each, we need to multiply the number of bicycles sold (b) by the price of each bicycle ($250). Therefore, the expression would be: 250 * b.
b. To find how much the store would make if it sells 5 bicycles, we can substitute b with 5 in the expression we derived in part a. Hence, the store would make 250 * 5 = $1250.
