package of 25 (cards) = $5.25

1) Explain how you can tell that the unit price per card is less than $1.

if the price per card were 1 then the total price would be 25. The price has to be about a fifth of 1

2) Price per unit (card) = total price / number of cards

Price per unit (card) = $5.25/ 5

= 0.21

Answer

The price per card is 0.21
