for 50 cents?

Answered by Steve
well, 50¢/5 = 10¢ each.

So, how much does a dozen cost at that rate?
Answered by Ms. Sue
0.98 / 12 = 0.08 each

0.5 / 5 = ______ each
Answered by Steve
oops - Ms Sue did it right. I was calculating the cost per dozen, not each.
Answered by K.G
The answer is 1.83.
I'm still not sure how to get it.
Can someone please walk me through this

0.98/12= 0.081
.50/5=0.1
