Answer: $5.5

Explanation:

Here is the complete question:

L.B. Johnson Middle School held a track and field event during the school year. The chess club sold various drink and snack items for the participants and the audience. Altogether, they sold 486 items that totaled $2,673 a. If the chess club sold each item for the same price, calculate the price of each item. b. Explain the value of each digit in your answer to a using place value terms

Item sold = 486

Total amount = $2673

Price of each item = Total amount/items sold

= 2673/486

= $5.5

Each item costs $5.5.

5.5 = 5 units and 5 tenths.

The first number after the decimal point by the right is the tenths.
