Answer:
12y=$3
114 cans
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of every can be represented by y. Therefore, for 12 cans, the cost will be the product of y cans and 12 hence cost is 12y
Since the cost incurred is $3 then we can represent these as
12y=$3
To solve for y, we divide both sides by 12 hence
Y=$3/12=$0.25
To find the number of cans that one will get with a buget of $28.5, we divide the budget by the cost of a can. This will be $28.5/$0.25=114 cans
