Answer:

50 cents per lollipop

Explanation:

The full bag of lollipops costs 5.99 for 12 lollipops. You must use proportions.

5.99. _ X

———. ——

12. 1

Cross multiply to get 5.99 = 12x. Isolate the variable (x) by dividing by 12. 5.99/12 = 0.499166666666667

Because it is a price, round to the nearest hundredth and it costs about 50 cents per lollipop
