At Office Zone, boxes of pencils come in different sizes. A box with 10 pencils costs $1.50, and a box with 25 pencils costs $2.75. What is the unit price for each box?

Answer 1

To find the unit price, we need to divide the total cost by the number of pencils in each box.

For the box with 10 pencils that costs $1.50, the unit price is $1.50/10 = $0.15 per pencil.

For the box with 25 pencils that costs $2.75, the unit price is $2.75/25 = $0.11 per pencil.

Therefore, the unit price for each box is $0.15 for the box with 10 pencils and $0.11 for the box with 25 pencils.
