Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cans of beans be C and D be the cost.

C is proportional to D ( the higher the number of cans of beans, the higher the cost)

C = kD , k = C / D where k is the constant of proportionality.

Therefore, when C = 2, D = $1.52

k = 2/ 1.52

C = 2D/ 1.52

Hence, when D = $5.32

C = (2 × 5.32) / 1.52

C = 7

The number one can buy is 7 cans of beans with $5.32
