A bicycle store costs $1500 per month to operate. The store pays an average of $60 per bike. The average selling price of each bicycle is $80. How many bicycles must the store sell each month to break even? Profit = Revenue - Cost Let the number of bikes be b. Revenue = 80b Cost = 60b + 1500 Break even is when profit equals 0, which means revenue equals cost.

A bicycle store costs $2750 per month to operate. The store pays an average of $45 per bike. The average selling price of each bicycle is $95. How many bicycles must the store sell each month to break even? Let the number of bikes be b. Set up our cost function, where it costs $45 per bike to produce C(b) = 45b Set up our revenue function, where we earn $95 per sale for each bike: R(b) = 95b Set up our profit function, which is how much we keep after a sale: P(b) = R(b) - C(b) P(b) = 95b - 45b P(b) = 50b The problem wants to know how many bikes we need to sell to break-even. Note: break-even means profit equals operating cost, which in this case, is $2,750. So we set our profit function of 50b equal to $2,750 50b = 2750 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=50b%3D2750&pl=Solve']We type this equation into our search engine[/URL], and we get: b = [B]55[/B]

Melissa runs a landscaping business. She has equipment and fuel expenses of $264 per month. If she charges $53 for each lawn, how many lawns must she service to make a profit of at $800 a month? Melissa has a fixed cost of $264 per month in fuel. No variable cost is given. Our cost function is: C(x) = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost. With variable cost of 0, we have: C(x) = 264 The revenue per lawn is 53. So R(x) = 53x where x is the number of lawns. Now, profit is Revenue - Cost. Our profit function is: P(x) = 53x - 264 To make a profit of $800 per month, we set P(x) = 800. 53x - 264 = 800 Using our [URL='http://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=53x-264%3D800&pl=Solve']equation solver[/URL], we get: [B]x ~ 21 lawns[/B]
