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 of one pencil using the equation \( y = 0.19x \), you set \( x = 1 \) (since \( x \) represents the number of pencils).

So, we have:

\[ y = 0.19(1) = 0.19 \]

The cost of one pencil is $0.19.
