Answer 1

To determine the cost for 1 pencil, you can take the cost from the table and divide it by the quantity:

1. For 48 pencils: \[ \frac{12.00}{48} = 0.25 \]

2. For 24 pencils: \[ \frac{6.00}{24} = 0.25 \]

3. For 12 pencils: \[ \frac{3.00}{12} = 0.25 \]

4. For 6 pencils: \[ \frac{1.50}{6} = 0.25 \]

In all cases, the cost for 1 pencil is $0.25.

The correct response is: $0.25
