Celine, Devon, and their friend is a total of 3 people so if each person pays x dollars, then the total amount they pay $x\cdot 3$.
Since the total cost of the snacks is $7.50, then $x×3=7.5$. To solve this equation for x, we need to divide both sides by 3 to "cancel" the multiplication by 3. This gives: $\frac{x×3}{3}=\frac{7.5}{3}$ x=2.5 The solution is then 2.5 so each person will pay$2.50.
