Question

cams cupboard grocery store is having a sale on canned goods. tiana decides to stock up and purchases 12 cans of soup. during the sale, cans of soup sell for $0.55 less than full - price. tiana pays a total of $13.20 for the cans of soup. which equation can you use to find the amount, f, each can of soup costs at full price? 12f - 0.55 = 13.20; 0.55(f - 12) = 13.20; 12(f - 0.55) = 13.20; 0.55f - 12 = 13.20. how much does each can of soup cost at full price?

Explanation:

Step1: Define variables

Let \( f \) = full price per can.

Step2: Sale price per can

Sale price = \( f - 0.55 \).

Step3: Total cost equation

\( 12(f - 0.55) = 13.20 \).

Step4: Solve for \( f \)

Divide both sides by 12: \( f - 0.55 = 1.10 \). Add 0.55: \( f = 1.65 \).

Answer:

1.65
