See a solution process below:

Explanation:

If 6 boys each contributed R155.50 towards the purchase of a tent, then the total cost of the tent was:

#6 * "R"155.50 = "R"933.00#

If we want to know the cost per boy if the were 10 boys purchasing the same tent we can evaluate:

#("R"933.00)/10 = "R"93.30#
