Question

What is the unit price of 8 pencils for $2.24??

Answer 1

Answer: $0.28 per pencil

Step-by-step explanation: Unit price means the cost per unit, in this case the cost per per pencil.

Since we know that it costs $2.24 for 8 pencils, to find the cost for 1 pencil, we need to divide 8 into $2.24.

I provided an image with the division. *You can also just use a calculator.*

So, 8 divides into 2.24 0.28 times.

Therefore, each pencil costs 28 cents which means that the unit price is 28 cents per pencil.

Answer 2

Divide 2.24/8 and you get your answer of:
0.28 per pencil
