Question

The cost of a pencil is described by the equation y=$0.19x
. What is the cost for one pencil?(1 point)
its not 0.19

Answer 1

In the equation \( y = 0.19x \), \( y \) represents the total cost, and \( x \) represents the number of pencils.

For one pencil, we set \( x = 1 \):

\[
y = 0.19 \times 1 = 0.19
\]

So the cost for one pencil is indeed \( \$0.19 \). If this doesn't match your expectation, please double-check the equation or provide more context!
