Answer:

$3.50

Explanation:

If c represents the cost of one comic book, the transaction can be written as the equation ...

6c = $21

Dividing by 6, we get ...

c = $21/6 = $3.50

The cost for 1 comic book was $3.50.

_____

You know that the total cost of a transaction is the sum of the costs of each part. When all the parts have the same value, we can multiply the cost of one part by the number of parts.
