To find the cost for 1 pencil, we need to take the total cost and divide it by the quantity for one of the options given.
Let's use the first row as an example:
- Cost: $48
- Quantity: 12
Cost per pencil = Total Cost / Quantity = $48 / 12 = $4.00
Now let's verify with the other rows:
For the second row:
- Cost: $24
- Quantity: 6
Cost per pencil = $24 / 6 = $4.00
For the third row:
- Cost: $12
- Quantity: 3
Cost per pencil = $12 / 3 = $4.00
For the fourth row:
- Cost: $6
- Quantity: 1.50
Cost per pencil = $6 / 1.50 = $4.00
In all cases, the cost for 1 pencil is $4.00.
