So, Sebastian needed to buy new tires for his car, and he found this awesome tire shop with a special deal. If he bought three tires, he could get the fourth tire for just $5! How cool is that?

He went to the store, picked out his tires, and when he paid, the total was $237.50.

To figure out how much the first three tires cost, we can do some math. Since he got the fourth tire for $5, we can subtract that from the total price. Let’s do that:

$237.50 - $5 = $232.50.

So, the cost of the first three tires together is $232.50.

Now, to find out how much each of those three tires costs, we need to divide $232.50 by 3. Here’s the math:

$232.50 ÷ 3 = $77.50.

That means each of the first three tires costs $77.50!

Sebastian bought three tires and paid $237.50 in total, including a fourth tire for just $5.

First, we subtract the cost of the fourth tire:

$237.50 - $5 = $232.50.

Next, we divide the cost of the first three tires by 3:

$232.50 ÷ 3 = $77.50.

So, each of the first three tires costs $77.50.
