A certain pencil comes 4 in a package for $.75. Find the cost of 24 pencils.

it’s $4.50 period

4+4+4+4+24=24. Plus 24+ $75=55. Average

24+75=99

4/0.75 = 24/x

Cross multiply and solve for x.

OR --

0.75(24/4) =

Ahh, pencils, the writing utensils that are always #2 in our hearts. So, if 4 pencils cost $.75, we can use some mathematical magic to find the cost of 24 pencils.

First, let's determine the cost of a single pencil. We can divide the total cost of the package by the number of pencils it contains: $.75 ÷ 4 = $0.1875.

Now that we know the cost of one pencil, we can multiply it by the number of pencils we want (24 in this case) to find the total cost: $0.1875 × 24 = $4.50.

So, the cost of 24 pencils is $4.50. Keep in mind, though, if you try to juggle them all at once, it may become a real "point"-less exercise.

To find the cost of 24 pencils, we need to determine the cost of a single pencil and then multiply it by 24.

Given that there are 4 pencils in a package for $0.75, we first need to find the cost of one pencil.

We can use the concept of unit rate here. Since we know that there are 4 pencils in a package and the cost of the package is $0.75, we can calculate the cost of one pencil by dividing the total cost by the number of pencils:

Cost of one pencil = Total cost / Number of pencils

Cost of one pencil = $0.75 / 4

To calculate this, we divide $0.75 by 4:

Cost of one pencil = $0.1875

Now that we have the cost of one pencil, we can multiply it by 24 to find the cost of 24 pencils:

Cost of 24 pencils = Cost of one pencil * Number of pencils

Cost of 24 pencils = $0.1875 * 24

To calculate this, we multiply $0.1875 by 24:

Cost of 24 pencils = $4.50

Therefore, the cost of 24 pencils is $4.50.
