To find the terminal cost for one pencil based on the provided cost of pencils, we need to calculate the cost per pencil for each quality option.
Here's the breakdown:
-
For Quality 48:
- Total Cost: $12.00
- Number of pencils: 48
- Cost per pencil: \( \frac{12.00}{48} = 0.25 \)
-
For Quality 24:
- Total Cost: $6.00
- Number of pencils: 24
- Cost per pencil: \( \frac{6.00}{24} = 0.25 \)
-
For Quality 12:
- Total Cost: $3.00
- Number of pencils: 12
- Cost per pencil: \( \frac{3.00}{12} = 0.25 \)
-
For Quality 6:
- Total Cost: $1.50
- Number of pencils: 6
- Cost per pencil: \( \frac{1.50}{6} = 0.25 \)
From these calculations, the terminal cost for one pencil for all quality options is $0.25.
So, the answer is $0.25.
