Answer: the store needs to sell 50 bicycles each month to break even

Step-by-step explanation:

The average selling price of each bicycle is ​$145.

When we talk of break even, we are referring to the point at which the income being accrued from a business is equal to the total cost of running the business. At this point, their is no profit and there is no loss.

From the example information given,

Total cost of running the business will be

cost of operating the bicycle store + the total amount the store pays per bike.

cost of operating the bicycle store

= ​$3500 per month

The store pays an average of ​$75 per bicycle. If the store buys x bicycles per month, then,

Total the total amount the store pays per bike = 75 × x = 75x

Total cost of running the business per month

= 3500 + 75x - - - - - - -1

The average selling price of each bicycle is ​$145. This means that the selling price for x bicycles will be

145 × x = 145x

Therefore , total income is $145x

To break even,

145x = 3500 + 75x

145x - 75x = 3500

70x = 3500

x = 3500 / 70 = 50

If UW = 9x – 9, what is UW in units?
Tju [1.3M]
I will answer this question to the best of my ability, because you have not provided a value of x to plug in.


UW is always equal to 9x-9 or 9(x-1) whenever x is a real number.  By plugging in x, we can get the value.  For example, if x was 4, we plug in x, giving us 9*4-9=36-9=27 units or 9(4-1)=9(3)=27 units
Don't forget to include units when you complete your answer!

Hope this helps!  I did as much as I could!
