Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
55 divide 5 = 11
11 + 3 = 15
5 × 11 = 55
What we know is that a 6 foot tall tent casts a 15 foot shadow. Lets represent that given this way: 6 = 15
So, the unknown (y), or what we want to know, is how tall the cardboard box if it has a 6 foot long shadow (noticeably the same height as the tent):
y = 6
6 = 15
y = 6
(6 x 6) / 15 = y
36 / 15 = y
2.4 = y
The height of the cardboard box is 2.4 feet.

EXPLANATION
Let's see the facts:
$Sandwiches= 3*$Salads
Bill = $24.92
We can represent this in an equation:
Total Bill = Sandwiches + Salads
Let's call to Sandwiches "x" to Salads "y" and to Bill "B"
Then, the equation will be:
B = x+y = (3*y) + y
Applying distributive property:
24.92 = 3y + y
Adding similar terms:
24.92 = 4y
Dividing both sides by 4:
6.23 = y
Switching:
y=6.23
As we know, y variable represent the salads cost, so:
Answer is $6.23.
