Each winkydiddle costs approximately $3.50.

To find the cost of each winkydiddle, we can determine the cost per unit by dividing the total cost by the number of winkydiddles.

Let's take the first pair of values (7 winkydiddles, $24.50) from the table

Cost per winkydiddle =
(Total Cost)/(Number of Winkydiddles​)

Cost per winkydiddle =
(24.50)/(7)

Cost per winkydiddle = $ 3.50

Similarly the others will cost,

Cost per winkydiddle =
(42)/(12)

Cost per winkydiddle = $ 3.50

Cost per winkydiddle =
(91)/(26)

Cost per winkydiddle = $ 3.50

Cost per winkydiddle =
(108.50)/(31)

Cost per winkydiddle = $ 3.50

Therefore, each winkydiddle costs approximately $3.50.
