To list the items and their costs in a table:
Item | Cost
----------------|-----
Pack of pencils | $2.00
Markers | $2.00
To calculate the cost of each item as a fraction, you need to find the fraction that represents the cost of the item out of the total value of the gift card.
Since the total value of the gift card is $25, the fraction for the pack of pencils would be 2/25, and for the markers, it would be 2/25 as well.
To calculate the cost of each item as a decimal, you divide the cost of the item by the total value of the gift card. For the pack of pencils, it would be $2.00 ÷ $25.00 = 0.08, and for the markers, it would also be $2.00 ÷ $25.00 = 0.08.
To calculate the cost of each item as a percentage, you multiply the decimal value by 100. For the pack of pencils, it would be 0.08 * 100 = 8%, and for the markers, it would also be 0.08 * 100 = 8%.
So the cost of each item can be stated as:
1. Pack of pencils: Fraction 2/25, Decimal 0.08, Percent 8%
2. Markers: Fraction 2/25, Decimal 0.08, Percent 8%
