Mary purchased 4 tires by mail order. She paid $57.60 per tire plus $4.30 per tire for shipping and handling. There is no sales tax, because the tires were purchased out of state. She also had to pay $7.58 per tire for mounting and balancing. At a local store, Mary's total for the 4 tires with mounting and balancing would be $320 plus 6 % sales tax. How much did Mary save by purchasing the tires through the mail?

    Mary saved $61 by purchasing the tires through the mail

    Solution:

    Total for the 4 tires by mail order

    = 4 x (57.60 + 4.30 + 7.58)

    = 277.92

    She paid $ 57.60 per tire

    She paid $ 4.30 per tire for shipping and handling

    She paid $ 7.58 including tax, per tire for mounting and balancing.

    6% sales tax

    At a local tire store, her total for the 4 tires

    = $ 320 + 6% x 320

    = 339.2

    ∴ 339.2 - 277.92 = 61.28 ≈ $61
