Question

If twelve pounds of nails cost $3.84 what is the unit cost A) 32c B) 28c C) 23c D) 18c

Answer 1

A 32c

Explanation:

We have that 12 pounds of nails cost $3.84. To know the cost per unit we just need to divide $3.84 in 12, then:

`(\$3.84)/(12)=\$0.32`

Then the correct answer is A 32c

Answer 2

Option A) 32c

Explanation:

we know that

To find the unit cost, divide the total cost of twelve pounds by twelve pounds

so

`(\$3.84)/(12)=\$0.32`

Remember that

1$=100 cents

Convert dollars to cents

`\$0.32=0.32*100=32c`

therefore

The cost of one pound of nails cost 32 cents
