To find out how many cans are in each pile, we divide the total number of cans (493) by the number of piles (7).
493 / 7 = 70.42857142857143
Since we cannot have a fraction of a can, we round the number to the nearest whole number.
The closest whole number to 70.42857142857143 is 70.
Therefore, there are about 70 cans in each pile.
The correct answer is A) 7070.
