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 . . .

:
Change $11.60 to 1160 cents
You divide the total cost paid by the number of balls

On your calc enter 1160 divided by 1340, ans .86567 cents which is about .9 cents or less that 1 cent per ball

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