Answer 1

To determine the cost for 1 pencil, we can use the information provided in the table.

Let's take the lowest quantity from the table, which is 6 pencils for $1.50. We can find the cost of one pencil by dividing the total cost by the quantity:

Cost of 1 pencil = Total Cost / Quantity
Cost of 1 pencil = $1.50 / 6 = $0.25

So, the cost for 1 pencil is **$0.25**.
