To answer the question, we must DIVIDE the cost of $11.60 by the number of balls 1340 the price of each individual ball is = = 0.865672 cents (rounded). ANSWER It may look strange, but it is because the problem with its data is strange. Again, my answer is correct.   It can look strange, but it is because the problem/question itself is strange (out of the row . . . )

Do not experience suffer about this problem - it is not worth it . . .

Simply ignore it;   forget about it and move forward . . .

Using long division or a calculator, = .0086567, or about .009.
This is .9 cents or less than .01, or less than 1 cent.
