Question

What is the unit price for 50 pencils going for 5.45

Answer 1

The unit price of the pencil is $0.109
`\approx`$0.11

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of 50 pencils = $5.45

To find the unit price.

Solution:

By unit price of an object, we mean the price of one of the object.

If the cost of N objects in dollars =
`x`

Then, the unit price of one object will be given in dollars as:

⇒
`(N)/(x)`

For the given problem we have to find the unit price of pencil in dollars or in other words we need to find the dollars per pencil.

So, if 50 pencils cost = $5.45

Then. 1 pencil will cost = $
`(5.45)/(50)=\$0.109\approx \$0.11`

Thus, unit price of the pencil is $0.109
`\approx`$0.11
