Accepted Solution
A:
A.Tanya's cost for one is x, so Tony's is x-2.25. Three of Tanya's cost the same as four of Tony's so the equation is:3x = 4(x - 2.25)B.3x = 4x - 99 = xTanya's cost: $9Tony's cost: 9 - 2.25 = $6.75C.Tanya spent 3 × 9 = 27Tony spent 4 × ( 9 - 2.25 ) = 4 × 6.75 = 27 √D.Tanya spent $9 each for three items. Tony spent $6.75 for each of four items.
