In this question, we're trying to find the cost of feeding the cats for a year.
We know that we use 12 cans to feed the cats
We also know that each can costs $0.60
To find how much the cafeteria spent on the cats, we need to see how much 12 cans cost, and multiply that by 52 to get our yearly cost
Solve:
12 · 0.60 = 7.2
12 cans = $7.20
Now multiply 7.20 by 52 to get our minimum yearly cost for the cats.
52 · 7.20 = 374.4
This means that it costs $374.4 to feed the cats for a year.
Answer
$374.40
