I don’t have the profit function or equation from the problem, so I can’t compute the other production level yet. Could you paste the full problem (or the profit formula)?

If the profit P(x) (in millions) is given by a quadratic P(x)=ax^2+bx+c, the method is:
- Solve ax^2+bx+c = 30.
- Use the quadratic formula x = [−b ± sqrt(b^2 − 4a(c−30))]/(2a).
- Take the larger root and round to the nearest tenth (x is in million bicycles).

Send the profit formula or full original statement and I’ll compute the answer.
