If a box of 35 syringes costs $560.00, which of the following is the cost of two syringes?
A.
$15.00
B.
$16.00
C.
$32.00
D.
$8.00
To find the cost of two syringes, follow these steps:
- Determine the cost per syringe:Cost per syringe=Total costNumber of syringes\text{Cost per syringe} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of syringes}}Cost per syringe=Number of syringesTotal cost Cost per syringe=56035=16 dollars\text{Cost per syringe} = \frac{560}{35} = 16 \text{ dollars}Cost per syringe=35560=16 dollars
- Calculate the cost of two syringes:Cost of two syringes=2×Cost per syringe\text{Cost of two syringes} = 2 \times \text{Cost per syringe}Cost of two syringes=2×Cost per syringe Cost of two syringes=2×16=32 dollars\text{Cost of two syringes} = 2 \times 16 = 32 \text{ dollars}Cost of two syringes=2×16=32 dollars
So, the cost of two syringes is:
C. $32.00
