rchased frozen orange juice, the price had increased by $0.10 per can and he bought 1 less can for the same total price. What was the price per can and the numbers of cans purchased each time?
For the answer to the question above asking, w<span>hat was the price per can and the numbers of cans purchased each time? let x be the number of cans he bought the let us go to the 2nd statement which is t</span><span>he next time Ian purchased frozen orange juice, the price had increased by $0.10 per can and he bought 1 less can for the same total price. The equation for this is .10(x-1) = 24 So now let's solve, </span> .10(x-1) = 24 .10x - .10 = 24 .10x = 24+ .10 .10x = 24.10 Then divide both sides by .10 So the answer for this question is 241 cans of juice
