The problem does involve multiplication, but not in this way. If 1 can costs $0.95, then 2 cans cost $\displaystyle{0.95}\cdot{2}\usepackage{cmbright}\Huge\$ , 3 cans cost $\displaystyle{0.95}\cdot{3}\usepackage{cmbright}\Huge\$ , and x cans cost $\displaystyle{0.95}{x}\usepackage{cmbright}\Huge\$ . What does this number equal?
