Shauna needs to buy 4 new tires and get an oil change for her car. An oil change costs $47.00 and each tire costs the same amount. If she spent a total of $335.00, how much did each tire cost?

Respuesta :

Lanuel

Answer:

$72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t = Tires

Let O = Oil change

Given the following data;

Oil change, O = $47

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;

4t + O = $335

Rearranging the equation, we have;

[tex] 4t = 335 - O[/tex]

Substituting the value of O;

[tex] 4t = 335 - 47[/tex]

[tex] 4t = 288[/tex]

[tex] t = \frac {288}{4}[/tex]

t = 72

Therefore, the cost of each tire is $72.
