The cost of a pencil is described by the equation y = $0.19x. What is the cost for one pencil?

$__

1 answer

To find the cost for one pencil using the equation \( y = 0.19x \), where \( x \) represents the number of pencils, we can substitute \( x = 1 \) into the equation:

\[ y = 0.19(1) \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ y = 0.19 \]

Thus, the cost for one pencil is $0.19.
