I wonder, how many people would be able to ride their bike to school?

Facts about a bike rack:
- A Standard Sheffield-style rack (10 bike capacity) costs £858.15
- If the ground is ready and does not require work, installation would cost £200
- If the ground needed work before the installation, labour cost would increase to £400.
Question:
If we bought 2 bike racks and had to pay £400 for the installation, how much would it cost?
Light Green Chilli:
Bike locks are £10 for big bikes and £5 for small bikes.
In one week we sell:
3 locks for big bikes.
5 locks for small bikes.
How much did we make on bike locks?
If 2 people cycled to school, how much would the total cost spent divided by two be?
If 10 people cycled to school, how much would the cost be per person?
Conduct a survey across the pod. How many people think they would cycle to school regularly (at least 3 days a week).
Consider:
- Have they passed their Bikeability?
- Would their parents have time for them to cycle to school?
Work out how much this cost would be divided by the amount of pupils who would cycle regularly.
Make a graph showing how many year 4, 5 and 6's would cycle to school and use the bike rack.
You may also need to know that we have 161 pupils in the school currently who Mrs Caswell and the governors consider when deciding what to spend the school money on.
Using the information you have analysed write a paragraph to justify why or why not Mrs Caswell should consider a bike rack.
