Question

At Office Zone, boxes of pencils come in different sizes. A box with 10 pencils costs $1.50, and a box with 25 pencils costs $2.75. What is the unit price for each box?(1 point) The 10 count box is $/pencil. The 25 count box is $/pencil.

Answer 1

To find the unit price for each box, divide the cost of the box by the number of pencils.

For the 10 count box: $1.50 / 10 pencils = $0.15/pencil
For the 25 count box: $2.75 / 25 pencils = $0.11/pencil

So the unit price for the 10 count box is $0.15/pencil and the unit price for the 25 count box is $0.11/pencil.
