If you have 320 pens for $24 what is the cost per pen

Question

Trying to find out the equation so I can get the best deal

Answer 1

Trey,

Cost per pen is a rate, and rates can be written as fractions, such as $cost/pen$, In this case, the cost is $24.00 and the number of pens is 320. Plug those values into that fraction, and that will give you the rate of cost per pen, and comparing rates will give you the best deal. Hope this helps.
