The drink you usually buy is on sale, the price has been reduced by $2 per can, this means you can get 28 cans for the same price that you usually pay for 20 cans, determine the original price

Answer:

The answer is $2.80.

Explanation:

The price was reduced to two dollars and you buy 28 cans for the same price in which you got 20 cans at original price. So you need to take 28 cans times 2, which you will receive 56. Take 56 the price divided by 20 the original price cans and you will receive 2.8 or $2.80. To double check your work, take 2.80 times 20 and see if you get 56. #BallersKnowMath
