Question

The cost of 5 cans of dog food is $4.35. At this price ,how much do 11 cans of dog food cost? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

First, you would need to calculate the cost for one can of dog food, the equation below represents that. 
$4.35 ÷ 5 = $0.87

Now, all you would need to do is multiply the cost per can by the total number of cans. 
$0.87 × 11 = $9.57

At the price of $0.87 per can, it would cost $9.57 for 11 cans of dog food. 

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Each can costs 87 cents time 11 is 9.57(.87x)x=11
