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?(1 point) Responses $59.38 $59.38 $80.83 $80.83 $77.50 $77.50 $79.17

Let the cost of each of the first three tires be \( x \). According to the deal, the cost of the fourth tire is $5.

The total cost for the four tires can be expressed as:

\[
3x + 5 = 237.50
\]

Subtracting 5 from both sides gives:

\[
3x = 237.50 - 5
\]

\[
3x = 232.50
\]

Now, divide both sides by 3 to find \( x \):

\[
x = \frac{232.50}{3} = 77.50
\]

Thus, the cost of each of the first three tires is **$77.50**.
