    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
