Explanation:

yoko pays $19.60 for a pack of 4 towels. find the unit price in dollars per towel if necessary round your answer to the nearest cent

We can use proportion to determine the unit price per towel

$19.60 = 4 towels

x = 1 towel

cross multiply

4x = $19.60

Divide both-side of the equation by 4

`(4x)/(4)` = $
`(19.60)/(4)`

( 4 on the numerator will cancel-out 4 at the denominator at the left-hand side of the equation leaving us with just x while 19.60 will be divided by 4)

x = $
`(19.60)/(4)`

x = $4.9

Therefore, the unit price per towel is $4.9
