Question

Melanie conrad needs four new tires for her car. She can buy one tire for 87.00, two tires for 174.00, three tires for 261.00 or four tires for 348.00 which is the best buy

Answer 1

The four options are the same because in total she would spend $348.

Explanation:

If Melanie decides to buy 4 tires, each one for $87.00, then she would spend $87*4= $348

If she decides to buy two tires for $174, she would spend $174*2= $348

If she decides to buy three tires for $261, then she must buy another one for $87. In total she would spend $261+$87= $348

And if she decides to buy four tires for $348, that is what she would spend in total.

For instance, the four options are the same because in total she would spend $348.
