Answer:

$19.96

Answer:

Explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios:

12 $4.99

------- = -----------

48 x

where x is the cost for 48 cans.

Cross multiplying, we get 12x = $239.52. Solving this for x is accomplished by dividing both sides by 12:

$239.52

x = --------------- = $19.96

12

48 cans would cost $19.96.
