Answer:

4.25

Step-by-step explanation:

i knew the answer!!!

The amount that Greg spent on the comic book is; $17

Let the amount of money he had initially be x.

Thus, if he spent ⅔ of that initial amount, it means the amount he will have left is;

Amount left = x - ⅔x

Amount left = ⅓x

Since he had $8.5 left, then;

⅓x = 8.5

x = 3 × 8.5

x = $25.5

Thus;

Amount he spent on the comic book is;

⅔ × 25.5 = $17
