Question

A store sells bicycles for $250 each. In one week, the store had $1,250 in bicycle sales. How many bicycles did the store sell?

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

Each bicycle costs 250$
`rarr Total bicycle sales=250*x` where x is the total number of bicycles sold.

`1250=250*x`

Dividing both sides by 250 to isolate x:
`1250/250=(cancel250*x)/cancel250`

`rarr x=1250/250=5`
