Answer 1

To determine the cost for 1 pencil, we can look at the table you've provided.

We can take the cost for the smallest quantity, which is 6 pencils, and use that to find the cost per pencil:

• Cost for 6 pencils = $1.50
• Cost per pencil = Total cost / Number of pencils = $1.50 / 6 = $0.25

Therefore, the cost for 1 pencil is $0.25.
