Answer:

$0.10

Explanation:

STEPS TO ANSWERING THIS QUESTION

  1. Convert the size of the wrapping paper to inches
  2. divide the total cost of the wrapping paper by the converted size

1 ft = 12 inches

8 feet = 8 x 12 = 96 inches

price per inch = total length of the wrapping paper in inches / total cost of the wrapping paper

$9.60 / 96 = $0.10
