On Saturday Nikki and Tyler walked to the local farmers market Nikki bought 8 apples for $6 dollars and Tyler brought 3 fewer apples than Nikki. How much did Tyler spend on apples?
Tyler brought 8 apples - 3 apples = 5 apples.
To calculate the price of 5 apples we have to establish a proportion :
If 8 apples cost $6
Then 5 apples will cost $X
X = 5apples * $6/8apples = $3.75
Answer : Tyler spent on apples $3.75
Hope this helps!
