Eric purchased four tires through the Internet. He paid $62.30 Plus $6.20 s&h per tire.
There was no sales tax on this purchase. When he recieved the tires, Eric had to pay
$8.00 per tire for mounting and balancing. At a local tire store, his total cost for the four
tires with mounting and balancing would have been $425 plus 8% sales tax. How much did
Eric save by purchasing the tires through the Internet?
(The answer is $153. Just want to make sure I worked it right.)

If you would like us to determine whether you "worked it right," you'll need to show us the steps you have taken. When we see your work, we can tell if your thinking was correct, and spot any errors you may have made.

($62.30+$6.20+$8.00)*4=$306.00
$425.00+8%
$425.00*.08=$34.00
$425.00+$34.00=$459.00
$459.00-$306.00=153.00
