the eight pack of fine tip pens cost $12.00. the pack of pens are on sale 1/3 off the original price. what is the sale price of an individual pen?

To determine the sale price of an individual pen, follow these steps:

1. The original price of the eight-pack of pens is $12.00.
2. The discount is $ \frac{1}{3} $ off the original price.

First, calculate the amount discounted:

\[
\text{Discount amount} = \frac{1}{3} \times 12 = 4
\]

Now, subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price of the eight-pack:

\[
\text{Sale price of the pack} = 12 - 4 = 8
\]

Next, calculate the sale price of an individual pen. Since there are 8 pens in the pack, divide the sale price of the pack by 8:

\[
\text{Sale price of an individual pen} = \frac{8}{8} = 1
\]

Therefore, the sale price of an individual pen is **$1.00**.
