Final answer:

With the given information, it is not possible to determine the volume of one can as the volume of the bottles has not been provided. An additional piece of information is needed to solve the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the volume of one can, we need to set up an equation based on the information given. The equation will take into account the total volume of the two cans and three bottles, which is 82 ounces.

Let's denote the volume of one can as V and assume that the volume of each bottle is a constant value. The problem does not provide the volume of a bottle, so we'll represent it as B. Thus, the equation based on the given information would be:

2V + 3B = 82 ounces

Unfortunately, with the information provided, we cannot solve for V without knowing the volume of the bottles (B). To find V, additional information is required, such as the volume of one bottle or the combined volume of the bottles.
