To find the cost of each journal, you need to divide the total amount Mrs. Ashton paid by the number of journals (students):
\[
\text{Cost per journal} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of journals}} = \frac{64.48}{26}
\]
Now, let's perform the calculation:
\[
\frac{64.48}{26} = 2.48
\]
Therefore, each journal costs **$2.48**.
\[
\text{Cost per journal} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of journals}} = \frac{64.48}{26}
\]
Now, let's perform the calculation:
\[
\frac{64.48}{26} = 2.48
