Question

10 cans of mushrooms cost $27.80. The cost of each can is the same. What is the cost of

each can?

Answer 1

This problem gives us the total amount of cans and it also gives us the total cost and asks us to find the cost of each can when every can costs the same amount. To do this we need to $ to be on the top and the can on the bottom because we say price PER can.

`(total\ price)/(total\ amount\ of\ cans)`

`(\$27.80)/(10\ cans)`

`\$2.78\ per\ can`

Therefore, our final answer is that each can costs $2.78
