Answer:

11 cans cost $9.57

Explanation:

There are two ways of doing this, one being the longer and the other being the shorter.

The shorter one is simply multiplying the number by the new number over 5:

`4.35 * (11)/(5)`

This works because this finds the amount the 5 has increased from 5 to 11 and muliplies the number by this.

`4.35 * (11)/(5)` = 9.57

So 11 cans cost $9.57

Hope this helps!
