Answer 1

Answer: $0.11 or 11 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The cost price of 12 pencils = $1.35

To find the cost of each pencil, we need to divide the total cost by the number of pencils , we get

The cost price of each pencil =$\frac{1.35}{12}$

Therefore, The cost price of each pencil = $\ 0.1125\approx\ 0.11$

Hence, The cost price of each pencil = $\ 0.11$ or 11 cents.

Answer 2

Just divide $1.35/12 = $0.11
