We can calculate the unit price of a pencil by dividing the total price of one pack by total number of pencils in a pack.

Unit price of a pencil = [tex]\frac{\text{Price of a pack}}{\text{Number of pencils in a pack}}[/tex]

                                   = [tex]\frac{4.99}{12}[/tex]

                                   = $0.4158

                                   ≈ $0.4

Therefore, unit price of a pencil is $0.4
