Answer:

1 comic book costs $4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 8 comic books cost $36

To know how much 1 comic book costs, let x be the cost of 1 comic book, then, we have:

8 comic books = $36

1 comic book = x

Then we have the equation

8x = 36

where we can solve for x

Divide both sides by 8

8x/8 = 36/8

x = 4.5

Therefore, 1 comic book costs $4.5
