To determine the price per peach from a total cost of [tex]$20.00 for 25 peaches, we need to follow a series of steps:
1. Determine the Total Cost and Quantity:
- Total Cost: $[/tex]20.00
- Total Peaches: 25
2. Calculate the Price Per Peach:
- To find the price per peach, we divide the total cost by the number of peaches.
- [tex]\[\text{Price per peach} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Peaches}} = \frac{20.00}{25}\][/tex]
3. Perform the Division:
- [tex]\[\frac{20.00}{25} = 0.80\][/tex]
- So, the price per peach is [tex]$0.80.
4. Round the Result to the Nearest Cent:
- In this case, the result of $[/tex]0.80 is already at two decimal places, which corresponds to cent values in currency.
Therefore, the price per peach, rounded to the nearest cent, is [tex]$0.80.
Hence, the correct answer is:
B. $[/tex]0.80
