Answer: Choice A

$0.022, divide

======================================================

Work Shown:

50 sheets = 1.10 dollars

50/50 sheets = 1.10/50 dollars

1 sheet = 0.022 dollars

In the second step, I divided both sides by 50 to get the "50 sheets" to turn into "1 sheet". The result of 0.022 dollars is equivalent to 2.2 cents; so the unit cost is a little over 2 cents per sheet.
