Question

An ad in the newspaper advertises car tires for $146.50 for a pair. Mr. Tucker needs 3 tires for his truck. How much will he pay for his new tires?

Answer 1

$109.875

Explanation:

Assuming "a pair" means 4 tires the math would be as follows:

146.50 for 4 tyres.

146.5/4 = cost of one tyre.

1 tyre: $36.625

Multiply by 3 for price of three tires:

36.625 x 3 = $109.875
