a store sells a package of 18 trading cards for 5.04 use pencill and paper explain how you can telll that the unit price per card is lesss than 1 whar is the unit price per card
To determine if the unit price per card is less than 1, you can divide the total cost of the package by the number of trading cards in the package.
Let's calculate the unit price step by step:
1. Write down the total cost: $5.04.
2. Write down the total number of cards: 18 cards.
3. Divide the total cost by the number of cards to find the unit price per card.
\[ \text{Unit price per card} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of cards}} \]
\[ \text{Unit price per card} = \frac{5.04}{18} \]
Now, use paper and pencil to divide 5.04 by 18:
```
__0.28__
18)5.0400
- 4 50
-------
0 540
- 5 40
-------
100
- 90
-------
10
```
As you can see from the long division, each card costs $0.28, so the unit price per card is indeed less than $1. The exact unit price per card is $0.28.
