The cost of a pencil is described by the equation y=$0.19x . What is the cost for one pencil?(1 point)

1 answer

In the given equation \( y = 0.19x \), \( y \) represents the total cost and \( x \) represents the number of pencils.

To find the cost of one pencil, set \( x = 1 \):

\[ y = 0.19(1) = 0.19 \]

Therefore, the cost for one pencil is $0.19.
