As per the problem , we have
Pencils come in packages of 18 and cost $1.99 per package.
As we know if price of n item is$ x then , then the price of one item is $ [tex] \frac{x}{n} [/tex]
Here we are given that ,
Total number of pencil in the package[tex] =18 [/tex]
Price of the package=$1.99
Hence price of one pencil=[tex] \frac{1.99}{18}= 0.1105 [/tex]
The cost per pencil=$0.1105
