Final answer:

Each of the five hardware stores received 269 cans of paint from the supplier, calculated by dividing the total number of 1,345 cans by 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many cans of paint were delivered to each hardware store by the paint supplier, we divide the total number of cans by the number of stores. Since 1,345 cans were delivered and there are 5 stores, we perform the following calculation:

Number of cans per store = Total number of cans ÷ Number of stores = 1,345 ÷ 5 = 269

Therefore, each store received 269 cans of paint.
