At a card show, Jackie purchased a box of 180 baseball cards for $15 . What was the cost for 1 card? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
To find the cost of one card, you need to divide the total cost of the box by the number of cards in the box.
Total cost of the box = $15
Number of cards in the box = 180
Cost per card = Total cost ÷ Number of cards
Cost per card = $15 ÷ 180
Now, doing the math:
Cost per card = $0.083333...
Rounding to the nearest cent, the cost for one card is approximately:
$0.08 (since $0.083333... rounds down to $0.08 when considering only two decimal places).
