Explanation:

A crayon company sells a pack of wax crayon for $5.

Since each pack contains number of crayons = 10

Then we have to find the unit price of the crayons.

We apply unitary method to solve this question.

∴ 1 crayon will cost =
`(5)/(10)`

= $0.5

Therefore, unit price of the crayons will be $0.5 or 50 cents.
