Answer:

7.5 chores done by Tyler

3 chores done by Nareen

Explanation:

I don't think 7.5 chores can be possible (You might need to re-check the question once more)

Simple division;

$15/$2 = 7.5 chores done

$9/$3 = 3 chores done

just divide how much they have by how much they get each time they complete a chore
