Canned Hams - quickie

[Gokul43201]

An old, an somewhat illegible invoice shows that 144 canned hams were purchased for $ x34.7y.

How much does each can cost ?

Assuming the cans cost an inetger number of cents:

the total cost must be divisble by 48which means the last digit is a 2 (as in order to be dividsble by 8 the last 3 digits must be divisible by 8)

the total cost must alos be divisble by 9 (which means that the sum of it's digits must be divisble by 9), which means the first digit is 2

therefore the cost o each can is $1.63

As this is a quickie thread:

Why do some people dial 911 with their third finger and some with their forefinger?

Is there some reason you avoided the more common "middle finger" usage ?
