Type the correct answer in the box. Use numbers instead of words. Tires can be bought individually or in a set of 4 tires at a store. - One tire costs \( \$ 55 \). - A set of 4 tires costs \( \$ 200 \). How much money does a buyer save per tire by buying a set instead of individual tires? \( \$ \) saved per tire

To find out how much money a buyer saves per tire by buying a set instead of individual tires, we can follow these steps: 1. **Calculate the total cost of buying 4 individual tires:** \[ \text{Cost of 4 individual tires} = 4 \times 55 \] 2. **Calculate the cost difference between buying 4 individual tires and a set of 4 tires:** \[ \text{Cost difference} = \text{Cost of 4 individual tires} - \text{Cost of a set of 4 tires} \] 3. **Calculate the savings per tire:** \[ \text{Savings per tire} = \frac{\text{Cost difference}}{4} \] Let's perform these calculations step by step. ### Step 1: Calculate the total cost of 4 individual tires \[ \text{Cost of 4 individual tires} = 4 \times 55 = 220 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the cost difference \[ \text{Cost difference} = 220 - 200 = 20 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the savings per tire \[ \text{Savings per tire} = \frac{20}{4} = 5 \] Thus, the buyer saves \( \$ 5 \) per tire by buying a set instead of individual tires. The final answer is: \[ 5 \]
