  You need a 40-622 (700 X 38C-28X 1 5/8 x 1 1/2) tyre

  Sounds like you have a hybrid bike

  700C is the diameter, which is the standard road bike size
  38C (or 1.5 inch) is the width, which is wider than you would find on a pure road bike. Most tubes will do for a range of widths

  Any bike shop should be able to sell you one for less than $10, or something like this will do

    There are Hybrid with 700c with Schrader valves as well, so OP needs to check what sort of valve they have

  Tubes are sold by diameter and a range of width. You need a 700c diameter and 38mm width. Probably something like 700x25-40 (38 is between 25 and 40)

  And as above check for the correct valve. Skinny ones are presta, fatter ones are Schrader (car type). You can fit a presta in a schrader but not the other way around. Unfortunately fitting a presta in a Schrader hole is a recipe for punctures unless you get an adaptor or wrap tape around the valve so it doesn’t wriggle around in the hole.
