Given:

12 cans of nuts = $27

Determine the cost of 7 cans of nuts.

Solution:

In order to determine the cost of 7 cans of nuts, we simply need to determine the cost of each can of nut first. To do so, simply divide $27 by 12.

= $27/12

= $2.25

Multiply 2.25 by 7.

= ($2.25)(7)

= $15.75

Final answer:

7 cans of nuts cost $15.75.
