Sebastian needed to buy new tires for his car. The tire shop was running a holiday deal that allowed customers to buy three tires and get the fourth tire for $5. If the total price for all his tires was $237.50, what was the cost of each of the first three tires?
$79.17 $79.17 $59.38 $59.38 $77.50 $77.50 $80.83
Let's assume the cost of each of the first three tires is x dollars.
According to the holiday deal, Sebastian would need to buy three tires at the regular price and get the fourth tire for $5. Therefore, the total cost of the four tires is 3x + $5.
Since we know that the total cost of all the tires is $237.50, we can set up the equation:
3x + $5 = $237.50
Simplifying the equation:
3x = $237.50 - $5
3x = $232.50
x = $232.50 / 3
x = $77.50
Therefore, the cost of each of the first three tires is $77.50.
Let's assume the cost of each of the first three tires is x.
Since Sebastian bought three tires, the total cost of the first three tires is 3x.
According to the holiday deal, he got the fourth tire for $5, so the total cost of the four tires is 3x + $5.
We know that the total cost for all the tires is $237.50, so we can set up an equation:
3x + $5 = $237.50.
Now, let's solve for x:
Subtract $5 from both sides: 3x = $237.50 - $5
3x = $232.50
Divide both sides by 3: x = $232.50 / 3
Therefore, the cost of each of the first three tires, rounded to two decimal places, is $77.50.
To find the cost of each of the first three tires, we'll first need to determine the total cost of the fourth tire.
We know that the deal allows customers to buy three tires and get the fourth tire for $5. Therefore, the total price for all four tires is $237.50.
Let's subtract the cost of the fourth tire to find the total cost of the first three tires:
Total cost of all four tires - Cost of the fourth tire = Total cost of the first three tires
$237.50 - $5 = $232.50
Now we need to divide the total cost of the first three tires by 3 to find the cost of each tire:
$232.50 / 3 = $77.50
So, the cost of each of the first three tires is $77.50.
