Final answer:

Bria paid $1.95 per pack of skittles, which was determined by dividing the total cost of $9.75 by the number of packs she purchased (5 packs).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Bria paid per pack of skittles, we divide the total amount she spent by the number of skittle packs she bought. Bria bought 5 packs of skittles for $9.75. Therefore, we calculate the cost per pack by dividing $9.75 by 5 packs.

Using the unit price calculation, which is similar to how we determine the cost of fruit in the provided reference (e.g., 10 apples × 50 cents each), we do the following calculation for Bria:

$9.75 ÷ 5 packs = $1.95 per pack

Thus, Bria paid $1.95 per pack of skittles, which corresponds to answer choice A.
