Explanation:

Per means to mulitply there are also other words that hint to mulitplying like each, one, every. Snice 3.5 is a decimal it has a extra number and a zero, but snice 10 is just a regaular digit you must attach 2 zeros for the hunderd's place and for the ones place.

10.00 x3.5.

35. 0.0

Because there are just zeros the answer must be $35

Answer:

The cost per apple is $0.35

Explanation:

To find the cost per apple, you can divide the total cost by the number of apples:

Cost per apple = Total cost / Number of apples

In this case, the total cost is $3.5 and the number of apples is 10:

Cost per apple = $3.5 / 10

Dividing $3.5 by 10 gives:

Cost per apple = $0.35
