You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let = the original price / can = the increased price / can
-------------------- used to buy cans
----------------------------------
Let = number of cans that
that could be bought for
----------------------------------
( number of cans bought ) = ( old price for 300 cans ) / ( new price / can )
-------------
250 cans can be purchased
