The price of 6 pretzels is $5.10. Simon and Sofia bought 8 pretzels and shared the cost equally. How much did each person pay?

Divide 5.1 by 3, this is how you will get the price for two pretzels. Then multiply it by 4 to get the price for 8 pretzels. Lastly, divide that price by two since they split the price equally.
