To solve the equation, we can start by simplifying the right side:
0.75(16 - 5k) - 4 = 0.75(16) - 0.75(5k) - 4 = 12 - 3.75k - 4 = 8 - 3.75k
Now we can rewrite the equation as:
24 + 1.25k = 8 - 3.75k
Next, we can combine like terms:
1.25k + 3.75k = 8 - 24
5k = -16
Finally, we can solve for k by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:
k = -16/5 = -3.2
Therefore, the solution to the equation is k = -3.2.
Option C is correct.

To determine the monthly profit if the company sells the new bike for $216, we need to substitute this value into the function p(x).
Based on the information given, we don't have access to the actual function p(x) in the question. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the monthly profit with the given options.
The correct answer is "Not enough information given."
