Step-by-step explanation:

Simple way: The cost of three items is given. Divide by 3 to find the cost of one item.

Next level: write a proportion by comparing like quantities (compare things that are the same in the same order)

Cost/numbers of items = Cost/number of items

We know all but one piece of information:

4.76/3 = x/1

Solve for x to find the price of one carton.
