Question

Brittany needed new tires for her truck. She went to the auto shop and bought 4 tires on sale for $85.95 each. The salesman told her that she saved a total of $96.16. If Brittany saved the same amount on each tire, what was the original price of each tire?

Answer 1

Answer: $109.99

Explanation:

The total amount saved, $96.16, should be divided by the number of tires, 4. The answer is $24.04. Add $24.04 to the price of a single tire, $85.95, and the answer is $109.99, the original price of one tire.
