Answer $15.75

$9 divided by 4 cans = $2.25 per can
Multiply $2.25 x 7 cans = $15.75

Answer: $15.75

Explanation:

First, we will find the unit price for one can of nuts by dividing. Let n be one can of nuts.

4n = $9

n =
(\$9)/(4)

n = $2.25

Now, we will multiply this unit price by 7 to find the cost for 7 cans.

$2.25 * 7 = $15.75
