For this case we have to if Nikki bought 8 apples for $ 6, to know the price of each apple we divided:
[tex]\frac {6} {8} = 0.75[/tex]
If Tyler bought 3 apples less than Nikky, we have to buy [tex]8-3 = 5[/tex]
To know how much we spend, we multiply:
[tex]5 * 0.75 = 3.75 \[/tex]
So, Tyler spent $ 3.75 on apples.
Answer:
