mathmale · Answer

How many crayons are in each box?
what is the sale price of a box of crayons?
Divide this sale price by the number of crayons in each box;
                                               Sale price of box of crayons
unit cost of one crayon =   ---------------------------
                                                  Number of crayons in box
