To determine the cost of a single tire when the total cost for 4 tires is [tex]$320, we need to perform the division of the total cost by the number of tires. Here's the problem statement in detail:
1. You know that the total cost for 4 tires is $[/tex]320.
2. To find out how much one tire costs, you need to divide the total cost by the number of tires.
Step-by-step process:
1. Identify the total cost:
The total cost for 4 tires is [tex]$320.
2. Identify the number of tires:
There are 4 tires.
3. Set up the division:
To find the cost of one tire, you divide the total cost by the number of tires:
\[
\text{Cost per tire} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of tires}}
\]
In this case:
\[
\text{Cost per tire} = \frac{320}{4}
\]
4. Perform the division:
When you divide $[/tex]320 by 4, you get:
[tex]\[
320 \div 4 = 80
\][/tex]
So, the cost of a single tire is [tex]$80. This means that each tire costs $[/tex]80.
