A 5-foot piece of wire costs $0.49. What is the unit price, rounded to the nearest cent?



$ per foot

To find the unit price per foot, divide the total cost by the total length of the wire.

\[
\text{Unit price} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total length}} = \frac{0.49}{5}
\]

\[
\text{Unit price} = 0.098 \text{ dollars per foot}
\]

Rounding to the nearest cent, the unit price is **$0.10** per foot.
