    The correct unit price would be $1.08 per pair of gloves. What the contractor didn't notice was it was 7 dozen pairs of gloves, not just seven pairs. If it had been seven pairs, she would have been correct, but it was actually 84 pairs of gloves. She needed to divide 103.32 by 84 rather than 7.
