Sam is stocking up on canned tuna. He got 9 cans at the supermarket, and had 5 coupons for 25 cents off a single can per coupon. He paid $20 and got $5.50 in change. How many cents does a can of tuna cost?
Let's think step by step below.
175
His total without the coupons was $20 - $5.

50 = $14.

50.

He had 5 coupons that each saved him 25 cents, so the full price of all the tuna is $14.

50 + 5 * $0.

25 = $15.

75.

He bought 9 cans of tuna, so each can costs $15.

75 / 9 = $1.

75.

As 1 dollar has 100 cents 1.

75 * 100 = 175 cents.

The answer is 175
