Question

Donald bought a box of golf balls for $9.59. There were 18 golf balls in the box. About how much did each golf ball cost?

Answer 1

One pack costs $9.59, which contains 18 balls. To obtain the cost of each ball, you divide $9.59 by 18, which is about 53 cents

Answer 2

The price (9.59) divided by the number of golf balls (18).

9.59 (divided by) 18 = .53

One golf ball cost around $0.53 or 53 cents.

You can also check the work by multiplying 18 by 0.53 which is 9.59.
