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.
