Answer:
a. Less than $471
Explanation:
The total price must be less than $578.10.
Let the price of the 4 tires = x.
He pays 10% tax on x. That means he pays x + 10%x = 1.1x including tax.
Then he pays the $60 fee.
He pays a total of 1.1x + 60
That must be less than $578.10
1.1x + 60 < 578.10
Subtract 60 rom both sides.
1.1x < 518.1
Divide both sides by 1.1
x < 471
Answer: a. Less than $471
