Answer 1

the answer would be 2.80

Answer 2

The unit price per padlock is $2.80.

Explanation:

This question can be solved as a simple rule of three problem.

We have that 9 padlocks cost $25.20. How much does 1 padlock cost? So:

9 padlocks - $25.20

1 padlock - $x

`9x = 25.20`

`x = (25.20)/(9)`

`x = 2.80`

The unit price per padlock is $2.80.
