Answer:

The price for 3 comics is $12.50 and the price for 8 comics is $20.00.

Explanation:

To calculate the price of one comic, we can divide the price of the comics by the amount bought:

= $7.50 รท 3

= $2.50

Therefore, one comic is $2.50

To figure out how much 5 and 8 comics are, just multiply these numbers by the price of one:

= 5 x $2.50

= $12.50

= 8 x $2.50

= $20.00

The price for 3 comics is $12.50 and the price for 8 comics is $20.00.
