Justin paid $23.60 for 29.5 centimeters of wire.
Find the unit price in dollars per centimeter.
If necessary, round your answer to the nearest cent
To find the unit price, we need to divide the total cost by the total length:
Unit Price = Total Cost / Total Length
Total cost is given as $23.60 and total length is 29.5 cm. Therefore:
Unit Price = $23.60 / 29.5 cm
Unit Price = $0.8000/cm
Rounded to the nearest cent, the unit price is $0.80/cm.
