Answer:
$6.75
Step-by-step explanation:
We can put the first sentence into an equation. c is equal to the cans of nuts.
8c = 18
We can solve this equation by dividing both sides by 8 to get
c = 18 ÷ 8
18 divided by 8 is 2.25
This means that each can is worth $2.25
To get the price of 3 cans, we can multiply 3 by 2.25
The answer is
$6.75
