Question

Kevin from Pullman was offered a deal to write story problems for ST2 publishing Company. For every 5 he wrote he was paid $12.00. How much did Kevin get paid per problem?

Answer 1

Answer: $2.40

Explanation:

If Kevin gets 12 dollars for every 5 problems, we will need to divide 12 by 5 to find the unit rate; how much Kevin gets for each problem.

12 ÷ 5 = 2.4, and in dollars it is equal to $2.40. Because of this, Kevin is paid $2.40 for each problem he makes for the ST2 publishing Company.
