if 9 notebooks are $5.85 what is the unit price of the books

Answer 1

We can set this up as an equation:

9 * (price of a single notebook) = $5.85

We are solving for the price of a single notebook, so we divide both sides by 9.

This gives us

(9/9) * (price of a single notebook) = ($5.85/9)

When we carry out the division, the answer is:

price of a single notebook = $6.50
