Answer 1

The Solution:

To raise a total $600 in 10 days with an estimate of selling 15 cans of soda per day.

To find the amount you should charge for each can is:

$\frac{\text{ \ 600}}{\text{ 10 days}}\times\frac{\text{ 1 day}}{\text{ 15 cans per day}}=\frac{600}{150}=\text{ \ 4}$

Therefore, the correct answer is $4 for each can of soda.
