To find out how many cans are in each pile, we need to divide the total number of cans (493) by the number of piles (7).
493 รท 7 = 70.4286
Since the number of cans must be a whole number, we round down to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, there are about 70 cans in each pile.
So, the answer is A) 70.
