The total mass of the filled bowl is 7 kilograms, which is equal to 7000 grams. Since the empty bowl has a mass of 600 grams, the mass of the 8 cans is 7000 - 600 = 6400 grams.
To find the mass of each can, divide the total mass of the cans by the number of cans: 6400 / 8 = 800 grams.
Therefore, the mass of each can is 800 grams.
Correct answer: 800 grams.
