Question

Kristin bought a pack of 12 pencils for $1.35. How much was each pencil

Answer 1

Just divide $1.35/12 = $0.11

Answer 2

Answer: $0.11 or 11 cents

Explanation:

Given: The cost price of 12 pencils = $1.35

To find the cost of each pencil, we need to divide the total cost by the number of pencils , we get

The cost price of each pencil =
`(1.35)/(12)`

Therefore, The cost price of each pencil =
`\$0.1125\approx\$0.11`

Hence, The cost price of each pencil =
`\$0.11` or 11 cents.
