Sebastian needed to buy new tires for his car. The tire shop was running a holiday deal that allowed customers to buy the first 3 tires and get the 4th tire for $5. If the total price for all 4 tires was $237.50, what was the cost of each of the first 3 tires?(1 point) Responses $80.83 $80.83 $59.38 $59.38 $79.17 $79.17 $77.50

Answer 1

Let the cost of each of the first 3 tires be \( x \). The cost of the 4th tire is $5.

The total cost can be represented by the equation: \[ 3x + 5 = 237.50 \]

Subtract 5 from both sides: \[ 3x = 237.50 - 5 \] \[ 3x = 232.50 \]

Now, divide by 3 to find \( x \): \[ x = \frac{232.50}{3} = 77.50 \]

Thus, the cost of each of the first 3 tires is $77.50.
