1. Ron buys 15 pens for $ 375.45. What is the cost of one pen?
Number of pens Ron bought = 15
Cost of 15 pens = $ 375.45
Therefore, cost of one pen = $ 375.45 ÷ 15 = $ 25.03
2. Shane bought 14 toys for $ 1547. Find the cost of 1 toy.
Number of toys Shane bought = 14
Cost of 14 toys = $ 1547
Therefore, cost of one toy = $ 1547.00 ÷ 14 = $ 110.50
3. Shelly buys 9 books for $ 211.59. What is the cost of one
book?
Number of books Shelly bought = 9
Cost of 9 books = $ 211.59

4. Mike bought 15 kg of sugar for $ 667.50. What is the cost of 1 kg of sugar?
Quantity of sugar Mike bought = 15 kg
Cost of 15 kg of sugar = $ 667.50

5. Sam paid $210.50 for 2 chocolate bars and 1 ice-cream. If cost of ice-cream is $62.50 find the cost of one chocolate bar.
