Question

Two cans of soup cost $0.88. One can costs $0.20 more than the other can. How much would 5 cans of each type of soup cost all together?

Answer 1

We can determine that there are two types of soup: one can costing $0.54, and the other costing $0.34. 5 cans of the $0.54 soup would cost a total of $2.70, while 5 cans of the $0.34 soup would cost $1.70. Therefore, the combined cost of all 10 cans of soup, being 5 of each type, is $4.40.
