Answer 1

To find the unit price for each box, we can divide the total cost of each box by the number of pencils in that box.

For the 10 count box:

• Cost: $1.50
• Number of pencils: 10

Unit price for the 10 count box: \[ \text{Unit price} = \frac{1.50}{10} = 0.15 \]

For the 25 count box:

• Cost: $2.75
• Number of pencils: 25

Unit price for the 25 count box: \[ \text{Unit price} = \frac{2.75}{25} = 0.11 \]

So, the unit prices are:

• The 10 count box is $0.15/pencil.
• The 25 count box is $0.11/pencil.
