Answer:

The correct answer is $9,57.

Explanation:

To be able to solve this exercise we must begin by analyzing the information we have:

We know that the cost of 5 cans of dog food is 4.35.

Now we are asked to find out how much 11 cans of dog food would cost.

Having 3 of 4 unknowns resolved, the most convenient thing would be to do a cross-multiplication:

if 5 cans ----- 4.35

11 cans ---- x

5.x = 4,35 . 11

5x = 47,85

x = 47,85 : 5

x = 9,57

In this way we can verify that the correct answer is 9.57.
