The number of cans bought is 7
How to determine the number of cans?
The given parameters are:
- Amount = £6
- Cost of can = 85p
- Amount left = 5p
Let the number of cans be x.
So, we have:
Amount = Cost of can * x + Amount left
This gives
6 = 0.85x + 0.05
Subtract 0,.05 from both sides
0.85x = 5.95
Divide both sides by 0.85
x = 7
Hence, the number of cans bought is 7
