Answer:

a. Less than $471

Step-by-step 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
