Answer:

a) 0.04

b) 0.08

Explanation:

Part a)

Divide the price of a pack by the number of stickers in a pack to get the price of one sticker.

$2/50 = $0.04/1

One stickers costs $0.04.

Part b)

Calculate 80% more than the price of one sticker.

80% in decimal form is 0.8. 80% more than the price is calculated with the factor 1.8.

($0.04)(1.8) = $0.072

Round 0.072 up because is rounded down, the profit is less than 80%.

0.072 => 0.08

Each sticker would need to be sold for $0.08.
