Answer:

6

Explanation:

total spent is equal to 68 and helmet costs 32 so 6 replacement wheels cost

68-32= 36

to find cost of each replacement wheels were devide cost of 6 wheels by 6

36/6= 6

Answer:

$6

Explanation:

  • total cost is $68
  • bought one helmet costing $32
  • bought six wheels, costing 6x where x is the cost of each wheel.

6x + 32 → 68

6x → 68 - 32

6x → 36

x → 6

So each spare wheel cost is $6.
