Solve for the amount of money left after buying 4 tires that each cost $41\$ 41 plus $2.25\$ 2.25 tax and weigh 25 pounds, given you have $269\$ 269 to spend. The piece of given information that is not necessary is the weight of the tires.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. You have 269tospend.<br/>2.Eachtirecosts269 to spend.<br />2. Each tire costs 41.
3. The tax on each tire is $2.25.
4. You need to purchase four tires.
5. The weight of each tire is not relevant to the calculation of cost.

STEP 2

First, we need to calculate the total cost of one tire including tax.
Totalcostpertire=Costoftire+TaxpertireTotal\, cost\, per\, tire = Cost\, of\, tire + Tax\, per\, tire

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the cost of one tire and the tax per tire to calculate the total cost per tire.
Totalcostpertire=$41+$2.25Total\, cost\, per\, tire = \$41 + \$2.25

STEP 4

Calculate the total cost per tire.
Totalcostpertire=$41+$2.25=$43.25Total\, cost\, per\, tire = \$41 + \$2.25 = \$43.25

STEP 5

Next, we need to calculate the total cost for all four tires.
Totalcostforalltires=Totalcostpertire×NumberoftiresTotal\, cost\, for\, all\, tires = Total\, cost\, per\, tire \times Number\, of\, tires

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the total cost per tire and the number of tires to calculate the total cost for all tires.
Totalcostforalltires=$43.25×4Total\, cost\, for\, all\, tires = \$43.25 \times 4

STEP 7

Calculate the total cost for all four tires.
Totalcostforalltires=$43.25×4=$173Total\, cost\, for\, all\, tires = \$43.25 \times 4 = \$173

STEP 8

Now we need to calculate how much money will be left after buying the tires.
Moneyleft=MoneyyouhaveTotalcostforalltiresMoney\, left = Money\, you\, have - Total\, cost\, for\, all\, tires

STEP 9

Plug in the values for the money you have and the total cost for all tires to calculate the money left.
Moneyleft=$269$173Money\, left = \$269 - \$173

STEP 10

Calculate the money left after the purchase.
Moneyleft=$269$173=$96Money\, left = \$269 - \$173 = \$96
You will have $96 left after buying the tires.
The piece of given information that is not necessary to solve the problem is the weight of each tire (25 pounds).
