To find out how much money Mr. Sanford's family received for recycling the aluminum cans, we need to calculate the total amount based on the given information.

Step 1: Determine the number of sets of three cans
Given that they collected 2187 cans, we need to find out how many sets of three cans can be made from that total. To do this, divide the total number of cans by 3:
2187 cans ÷ 3 = 729 sets of three cans

Step 2: Calculate the total money earned
Since they receive two cents for every three cans, we can calculate the total money earned by multiplying the number of sets of three cans by the earnings per set:
729 sets × $0.02 = $14.58

Therefore, Mr. Sanford's family received $14.58 for recycling 2187 aluminum cans.
