Part A
Let t represent the price of one tire.
Write an equation that represents the
situation.

Part B
What is the price, in dollars, of one
tire?

Answer 1

Part A:

Let's start by setting up the equation. We know that the service station charges an installation fee of $84 and a set price for each new tire. If t represents the price of one tire, then the total cost of four tires and installation can be expressed as:

4t + 84 = 791

Part B:

Now we can solve for t to find the price of one tire:

4t + 84 = 791

4t = 707

t = 176.75

Therefore, the price of one tire is $176.75.
