Answer:

$8.75

Explanation:

He had $60 to spend on sports equipment.

He bought 6 footballs and was left with $7.50

First get the amount used in buying all the footballs

That’s

$60 - $7.50 = $52.5

He bought the 6 balls for $52.5

Therefore, amout paid for each football will be amount spent in buying the footballs divided by number of footballs bought

That’s

$52.5/6 = $8.75

Each football cost $8.75
