Answer:

a)9:48

b)10:48

c)9:36

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the ratio of the number of cans to the price.

Shop Smart: 24 packs (2 for $9)

No. of cans in 1 pack = 24

No. of cans in 2 packs = @@MATH_TOKEN_0@@

Cost of 48 cans = $9

Cost of 1 can = \(\frac{9}{48}\)

So,  the ratio of the number of cans to the price is 9:48

Super Saver: 12 packs (4 for $10)

No. of cans in 1 pack = 12

No. of cans in 4 packs = @@MATH_TOKEN_2@@

Cost of 48 cans = $10

Cost of 1 can = \(\frac{10}{48}\)

So,  the ratio of the number of cans to the price is 10:48

Price Buster: 12 packs (3 for $9)

No. of cans in 1 pack = 12

No. of cans in 3 packs = @@MATH_TOKEN_4@@

Cost of 36 cans = $9

Cost of 1 can = \(\frac{9}{36}\)

So,  the ratio of the number of cans to the price is 9:36
