The owner of the company tells the customers that the ratio of orders are for every 3 tires, there is a 6 dollar increase. If a customer orders 48 tires, how much extra money will they need to pay? b.86 d.96 a. 24 c. 48​

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we need to determine the amount of extra money a customer will need to pay when ordering 48 tires, based on the given ratio of 3 tires to a $6 increase.

Let's set up a proportion to find the extra money needed:

3 tires = $6

48 tires = x

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and divide:

3x = 6 * 48

3x = 288

x = 288 / 3

x = 96

Therefore, the customer will need to pay an extra $96 when ordering 48 tires. The correct answer is option d. 96.
