Sure! Let's go through the steps to find the cost of one pencil.
1. Understand the Given Information:
- The total cost for 15 pencils is GHd [tex]$32 \(\frac{1}{2}\).
2. Convert Mixed Fraction to Decimal:
- GHd $[/tex]32 [tex]\(\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] is a combination of a whole number and a fraction.
- Convert the mixed fraction to a decimal: GHd [tex]$32 \(\frac{1}{2}\) = GHd $[/tex]32.5.
3. Set Up the Problem:
- We need to find out how much one pencil costs.
- The total number of pencils is 15.
- The total cost is GHd [tex]$32.5.
4. Calculate the Cost per Pencil:
- To find the cost of one pencil, divide the total cost by the number of pencils.
- Cost per pencil = Total cost / Number of pencils.
5. Perform the Division:
- Cost per pencil = GHd $[/tex]32.5 / 15.
6. Result:
- When you perform this division, the cost per pencil comes out to be approximately GHd [tex]$2.167.
So, the cost of one pencil is GHd $[/tex]2.167.
