Question

Ming spends $4 for 5 pears. Find the cost for 1 pear.A. $1.25B. $2.50C. $4.00D. $0.80

Answer 1

The correct option is:

D. $0.80

Since the 5 pears cost $4, the cost of each one is nequal to the total cost divided the amount of pears:

Total cost: $4

Total amount of pears: 5

Price per pear:

`\frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{ Amount of pears}}=(4)/(5)=0.80`

Which is option D.
