To find the cost for 1 pencil, we need to determine the unit rate from the table. The unit rate is the cost per pencil.
Using the table, we can see that the quantity of 48 pencils has a cost of $12.00. This means that the unit rate is $12.00/48 pencils.
We can simplify the unit rate by dividing the numerator and denominator by 12:
($12.00/12) / (48/12) = $1.00 / 4 pencils
Therefore, the cost for 1 pencil is $1.00 / 4 = $0.25.
So, the correct answer is $0.25.
