Answer:

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

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions
