Question 1207837
.
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?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
Brittany saved $96.16 on 4 tires, in total.


Hence, she saved  {{{96.16/4}}} = 24.04 dollars on each tire.


So, the original price per tire was 85.95 + 24.04 = 109.99 dollars.    <U>ANSWER</U>

Solved.

I wrote this solution here to show you that &nbsp;3 short lines is enough, &nbsp;if do not make unnecessary excessive work.


In this problem, &nbsp;two arithmetic operations are needed: &nbsp;to divide &nbsp;$96.24 &nbsp;by &nbsp;4 &nbsp;and to add the quotient to &nbsp;$85.95.
