What does 1/4 of a can of coffee cost if 4 cans of coffee costs $2.40?

In this item, we calculate first for the price of each can of coffee by dividing the cost by the number of cans of coffee.

Price per can = cost / total number of cans of coffee

price per can = ($2.40) / 4 = $0.6/can

To compute for the price of the 1/4 can, multiply the price by can by 1/4.

price of 1/4 can of coffee = (1/4 can) ($0.6/can)

price of 1/4 can of coffee = $0.15

Therefore, the 1/4 can of coffee will cost only $0.15.
