Math Problem Statement

A case of 5 items costs $6.45 at Costco. What is the price of each item?

Solution

To find the price of each item, you need to divide the total cost by the number of items.

Price per item=Total costNumber of items\text{Price per item} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of items}}

Given:

  • Total cost = $6.45
  • Number of items = 5

Price per item=6.455=1.29\text{Price per item} = \frac{6.45}{5} = 1.29

So, the price of each item is $1.29.

  2. If you bought 10 items at $1.29 each, what would the total cost be?
  3. How much would 7 items cost if each item is priced at $1.29?
  4. If the price per item decreased by $0.10, what would the new price per item be?
  5. What is the cost per item if 8 items cost $12.00 in total?

Tip: When dividing costs, it's useful to round your answer to two decimal places to ensure accuracy in pricing calculations.
