To find the unit price per magnet, you need to divide the total price by the number of magnets in the pack.
The total cost for the 3-pack of magnets is $2.57. Since there are 3 magnets in the pack, you calculate the unit price as follows:
\[
\text{Unit Price} = \frac{\text{Total Price}}{\text{Number of Magnets}} = \frac{2.57}{3}
\]
Now, performing the division:
\[
\frac{2.57}{3} \approx 0.856666...
\]
Now, rounding to the nearest cent:
0.856666... rounds to 0.86.
Therefore, the unit price is:
\[
\text{Unit Price} \approx \text{\$}0.86 \text{ per magnet}.
\]
