Answer:

Store C

Explanation:

store a is selling 10 pencils for $2.50

$2.50 divided by 10 is 25 cents

so the price for store a is 25 cents per pencil

store b is selling 50 pencils for $6.00

$6.00 divided by 50 is 12 cents

so the price for store b is 12 cents per pencil

store c is selling 100 pencils for $8.25

$8.25 divided by 100 is 8.25 cents

obviously you can't give someone .25 cents so round it down to 8

so the price for store c is 8 cents per pencil

store d is selling 250 pencils for $21.25

$21.25 divided by 250 is 8.5 cents

which rounds up to 9 cents per pencil

Store c has the lowest price for one pencil
