On Saturday Nikki and Tyler walked to the local farmers market Nikki bought 8 apples for $6 dollars and Tyler brought 3 fewer apples than Nikki. How much did Tyler spend on apples?

Tyler brought 8 apples - 3 apples = 5 apples.

To calculate the price of 5 apples we have to establish a proportion :
