To determine the cost of one jar of peanut butter, follow these steps:
1. Identify the total cost and the number of jars:
- The total cost for 5 jars is [tex]$10.
- The number of jars is 5.
2. Calculate the cost per jar:
- To find out the cost of one jar, divide the total cost by the number of jars:
\[
\text{Cost per jar} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of jars}}
\]
- This means:
\[
\text{Cost per jar} = \frac{10}{5}
\]
3. Perform the division:
- When you divide 10 by 5, the result is 2.
Thus, the cost of one jar of peanut butter is $[/tex]2.
So, the correct answer is:
C) $2
