Answer: 1 carrot costs $0.40
Step-by-step explanation: The formula you would use in this situation is something like
n * c = t, where n is the number of items, c is the cost, and t is the total.
If 12 * C = 4.80, where c is the cost of 1 carrot, then:
C = 4.80/12
C = 0.40
So the cost of 1 carrot is $0.40
Don't forget to check your work by plugging in your result into the original equation:
12 * 0.40 = ?
12 * 0.40 = 4.80
Hope this helps.
