Pencils sell for 98 cents per dozen. How much more per pencil does it cost to buy 5

for 50 cents?

4 answers

well, 50¢/5 = 10¢ each.

So, how much does a dozen cost at that rate?
0.98 / 12 = 0.08 each

0.5 / 5 = ______ each
oops - Ms Sue did it right. I was calculating the cost per dozen, not each.
The answer is 1.83.
I'm still not sure how to get it.
Can someone please walk me through this

0.98/12= 0.081
.50/5=0.1
