Ian often buys in large quantities. A few months ago he bought several cans of frozen orange juice for $24. The next time Ian purchased frozen orange juice, the price had increased by $0.10 per can and he bought 1 less can for the same total price. What was the price per can and the numbers of cans purchased each time?

For the answer to the question above asking, w hat was the price per can and the numbers of cans purchased each time?

let x be the number of cans he bought

the let us go to the 2nd statement which is t he next time Ian purchased frozen orange juice, the price had increased by $0.10 per can and he bought 1 less can for the same total price.

The equation for this is. 10 (x-1) = 24

So now let's solve,

.10 (x-1) = 24

.10x -.10 = 24

.10x = 24 +.10

.10x = 24.10

Then divide both sides by. 10

So the answer for this question is

241 cans of juice
