Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

yoko pays $19.60 for a pack of 4 towels. find the unit price in dollars per towel if necessary round your answer to the nearest cent

We can use proportion to determine the unit price per towel

$19.60  = 4 towels

  x        = 1 towel

cross multiply

4x  = $19.60

Divide both-side of the equation by 4

$\frac{4x}{4}$   = $ $\frac{19.60}{4}$

( 4 on the numerator will cancel-out 4 at the denominator at the left-hand side of the equation  leaving us with just x while 19.60 will be divided by 4)

x = $ $\frac{19.60}{4}$

x = $4.9

Therefore, the unit price per towel is $4.9

Answer 2

19.60/4=4.9
the answer is $4.90
