A store sells 3 paintbrushes for $9.75 and 5 rollers for $12.50. Determine the unit price for both items
To determine the unit price for the paintbrushes, divide the total cost by the number of paintbrushes:
$9.75 / 3 paintbrushes = $3.25 per paintbrush
To determine the unit price for the rollers, divide the total cost by the number of rollers:
$12.50 / 5 rollers = $2.50 per roller
Therefore, the unit price for the paintbrushes is $3.25 each and the unit price for the rollers is $2.50 each.
