Cardinals World Series tickets were selling at 15 times more than the highest
ticket at face value- others were about 8 times the lowest face value.
Pete Moran paid $400 for the lowest ticket at face value.
Dennis Spivey paid 9 3/8 times the amount paid by Pete.
How much did Dennis pay for his ticket?

Change 9 3/8 to 75%2F8
:
75%2F8 * 400 = $3750; (cancel 8 into 400)
