To find the unit price per magnet, you need to divide the total cost of the 3-pack by the number of magnets in it.
Total cost of the 3-pack = $2.57
Number of magnets = 3
Unit price per magnet = Total cost / Number of magnets
Unit price per magnet = $2.57 / 3
Calculating this gives:
\[
$2.57 รท 3 = $0.8566667
\]
Now, rounding to the nearest cent:
0.8566667 rounds to 0.86.
Therefore, the unit price per magnet is **$0.86**.
Total cost of the 3-pack = $2.57
