$3.68 per 16 pens

($3.68) / (16 pens)

$0.23 / (1 pen)

$0.23 / pen

$0.23 per pen

Regular - $0.34

Rounded- $0.30

Step-by-step explanation:

to find unit rate, set up the problem like a fraction. put the total cost on top, and the number of pens in a pack on bottom. Divided by the number of pens in the pack, which is 16. The answer will be the unit rate.

FOR EXAMPLE:

5.44/16 DIVIDED BY 16.

on the bottom you would get one because 16 divided by 16 is one. And on the top it would be 5.44 divided by 16 which is $0.34.
