Oops! Thanks Damon for the correction. :-)
If 7 pens cost d dollars, how much, in dollars, does each pen cost?
To find out how much each pen costs in dollars, you will need to divide the total cost by the number of pens. In this case, if 6 pens cost d dollars, you would divide the total cost (d dollars) by the number of pens (6 pens).
So, the cost of each pen in dollars would be d/6 dollars.
