In one year the number of cans purchased would be: #1.2xx10^10cans.#

Explanation:

Each day people buy #3.2xx10^7# cans of beans.

That is #32,000,000# cans of beans per day.

So in one year the number of cans purchased would be:

#(3.2xx10^7cans)/cancel(day)xx365cancel(days)=1168xx10^7cans#

This will round off to: #(1.168xx10^3)xx10^7cans=1.2xx10^10cans.#

That is #12,000,000,000# cans of beans per year.
