Question

An automobile repair facility recently purchased a 200-foot roll of flexible plastic tubing for $47.03 . Compute the cost in cents per foot. (round to the nearest cent.)

Answer 1

The cost is 24 cents per foot.

We find this by dividing the cost of the roll by the number of feet in the roll:

47.03/200 = 0.235 ≈ 0.24
