Answer:
72 cans
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the number of people
we know that
She ordered 1 pizza for every 4 people
using proportion
Find out the number of people for 6 pizzas
[tex]\frac{1}{4}=\frac{6}{x}\\\\x=24\ people[/tex]
step 2
Find the number of cans ordered
we know that
Charissa ordered 3 cans of lemonade for each person
so
using proportion
Find out the number of cans of lemonade she ordered for 24 people
[tex]\frac{3}{1}=\frac{x}{24}\\\\x=24(3)\\\\x=72\ cans[/tex]
