The answer is $46.25. Here is how I found it out: I did 18.50 divided by 2 to get the cost of one can then I simply did the cost of one can (which was $9.25) times 5 to get the cost of 5 cans. And I got 46.25 so $46.25 is your answer. Hope this helped you answer the question and know how to find the answer of this kind of question in the future!
