1 answer

To find out which pack of pencils has the lowest price per pencil, we can calculate the price per pencil for each pack:

Pack 1: $1.80 for 6 pencils
Price per pencil = $1.80 / 6 pencils = $0.30 per pencil

Pack 2: $2.00 for 10 pencils
Price per pencil = $2.00 / 10 pencils = $0.20 per pencil

Pack 3: $4.80 for 12 pencils
Price per pencil = $4.80 / 12 pencils = $0.40 per pencil

Pack 4: $4.50 for 15 pencils
Price per pencil = $4.50 / 15 pencils = $0.30 per pencil

Therefore, pack 2, which costs $2.00 for 10 pencils, has the lowest price per pencil at $0.20.
