Question

A pack of four cans of coffee cost $10.90 how much would 17 cans of coffee cost

Answer 1

Answer: 17 cans of coffee would cost approximately $47

Explanation:

To find out how much 17 cans of coffee would cost, we can set up a proportion:

4 cans / $10.90 = 17 cans / x

Cross-multiply to solve for x:

4x = 10.90 * 17

4x = 185.3

Now, divide both sides by 4 to isolate x:

x = 46.325

Since we can't have a fraction of a can or a fraction of a cent, we'll round up to the nearest whole number:

x ≈ 47
