3. At a bargain store, Spongebob bought 3 items that each cost the same amount. Patrick bought 5 items that each cost the same amount, but each was $1.50 less than the items that Spongebob bought. Both Spongebob and Patrick paid the same amount of money. What was the individual cost of each person's items?

Cost of each item bought by Spongebob = $2.5

Cost of each item bought by Patrick = $1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of each item bought by Spongebob.

Then, cost of each item bought by Patrick = x- 1.50

Then, cost of 3 items bought by Spongebob =  3x

Cost of 5 items bought by  Patrick = 5(x-1.50)

If both Spongebob and Patrick paid the same amount of money then

Cost of each item bought by Spongebob = $2.5

Cost of each item bought by Patrick = $2.5-$1.5=$1

Hence, Cost of each item bought by Spongebob = $2.5

Cost of each item bought by Patrick = $1
