1) $86.52
2) $87.52
3) $88.52
4) $89.52

Answer 1

The price of one computer, when given the cost per dozen, is calculated by dividing the total cost by 12. The provided options are incorrect; however, the correct price per computer is $868.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about the price of one computer given the total price per dozen. To find the price of one computer, we divide the total cost by the number of computers in a dozen. A dozen is equivalent to 12. Given that computers cost $10,416 per dozen, we need to perform the division $10,416 ÷ 12 = $868.00 per computer.

This means that none of the provided options (1) $86.52, (2) $87.52, (3) $88.52, (4) $89.52 are correct.
