Step 1 :The cost for a pack of 8 padlocks is $19.20. We need to find the unit price in dollars per padlock.
Step 2 :The unit price of a padlock can be found by dividing the total cost of the pack by the number of padlocks in the pack.
Step 3 :In this case, we need to divide $19.20 by 8.
Step 4 :\(\frac{19.2}{8} = 2.4\)
Step 5 :So, the unit price in dollars per padlock is \(\boxed{2.4}\).
