Answer:

It is better to buy 24 cans for 24 cents each

Step-by-step explanation:

We must calculate what it would cost us to buy soda cans individually

Each can costs 1 cent

We must find the equivalent in dollars for a cents

We use the following conversion factor

[tex]\frac{1\ dollar}{100\ cents}[/tex]

Then

[tex]24\ cents* \frac{1\ dollar}{100\ cents}= \$0.24[/tex]

finally multiply $ 0.24 * 24 cans

[tex]0.24*24 = \$5.76[/tex]

$5.76 < $6.23

Therefore: It is better to buy 24 cans for 24 cents each
