Cost of Pencils Quantity Cost ($) 48 12.00 24 6.00 12 3.00 6 1.50 Determine the cost for 1 pencil. (1 point) Responses $9.00 $9.00 $0.25 $0.25 $25.00 $25.00 $4.00

Answer 1

To determine the cost of 1 pencil, we can use the cost of the different quantities provided.

Let's calculate the cost per pencil for each quantity:

1. For 48 pencils at $12.00: \[ \text{Cost per pencil} = \frac{12.00}{48} = 0.25 \]

2. For 24 pencils at $6.00: \[ \text{Cost per pencil} = \frac{6.00}{24} = 0.25 \]

3. For 12 pencils at $3.00: \[ \text{Cost per pencil} = \frac{3.00}{12} = 0.25 \]

4. For 6 pencils at $1.50: \[ \text{Cost per pencil} = \frac{1.50}{6} = 0.25 \]

In each case, the cost per pencil is $0.25.

Therefore, the cost for 1 pencil is $0.25.
