Question

If twelve pounds of nails cost $3.84 what is the unit cost A) 32c B) 28c C) 23c D) 18c

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A) 32c

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find the unit cost, divide the total cost of twelve pounds by twelve pounds

so

$\frac{\ 3.84}{12}=\ 0.32$

Remember that

1$=100 cents

Convert dollars to cents

$\ 0.32=0.32*100=32c$

therefore

The cost of one pound of nails cost 32 cents

Answer 2

Answer:

A 32c

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that 12 pounds of nails cost $3.84. To know the cost per unit we just need to divide $3.84 in 12, then:

$\dfrac{\ 3.84}{12}=\ 0.32$

Then the correct answer is A 32c
