Answer 1

Given:

The soup sells for $1.29 at Harman's Market.

Alex has a coupon for $0.60 off the price of 4 cans of soup.

Alex plans on buying 4 cans and using the coupon.

So, the original cost of 4 cans =

`4*1.29=5.16`

The cost of 4 cans after using coupon =

`5.16-0.60=4.56`

To find the cost of each can after using the coupon, we will divide the buy cost by 4

so, the cost of one can of soup after using the coupon =

`4.56/4=1.14`

so, the answer will be:

The cost of each can of soup is $1.14
