,
• Do not have the same price per can as Soup A are: B, D
Explanation:
In order to determine which cans have the same price per can as Soup A, first, determine the price per can for Soup A.
Ted bought 4 cans of Soup A for $6.00.
[tex]\text{Price per can for Soup A}=\frac{\$6.00}{4\text{ cans}}=\$1.50\text{ per can}[/tex]
Next, determine the price per can for Soup B, C, D and E.
Soup B: 2 cans for $5.
[tex]\text{Price per can for Soup B}=\frac{\$5.00}{2\text{ cans}}=\$2.50\text{ per can}[/tex]
Soup C: 3 cans for $4.50.
[tex]\text{Price per can for Soup C}=\frac{\$4.50}{3\text{ cans}}=\$1.50\text{ per can}[/tex]
Soup D: 5 cans for $5.50.
[tex]\text{Price per can for Soup D}=\frac{\$5.50}{5\text{ cans}}=\$1.10\text{ per can}[/tex]
Soup E: 6 cans for $9.
[tex]\text{Price per can for Soup E}=\frac{\$9}{6\text{ cans}}=\$1.50\text{ per can}[/tex]
Therefore:
Those that have the same price per can as Soup A
• Soup C
,
• Soup E.
Do not have the same price per can as Soup A are:
