Sebastian needed to buy new tires for his car. The tire shop was running a deal that allowed customers to buy three tires and get the fourth tire for $5. If the total price for all the tires was @237.50, what was the cost of each of the first three tires?

Sebastian had to buy new tires for his car, and luckily, he found a tire shop that had a cool deal. If he bought three tires, he could get the fourth tire for only $5!

He went to the store and looked at the prices. When he paid for all four tires, the total came to $237.50.

So let's figure out how much each of the first three tires cost.

First, since he bought three tires and got one for $5, we can say:

Total cost of the three tires + $5 (for the fourth tire) = $237.50

If we take $5 away from the total price, we can find out how much just the first three tires cost:

$237.50 - $5 = $232.50

Now, this means the three tires together cost $232.50. To find out how much each of those three tires costs, we can divide that amount by 3:

$232.50 ÷ 3 = $77.50

So, each of the first three tires costs $77.50! That’s a pretty good deal for new tires!
