1). 11 containers of hot chocolate are sold for $3.29 a container. 4 bags of 50 cups are sold for $1.29 a bag. 277 drinks are made each year. How much does it cost to make one serving of hot chocolate (not including the cost of the cup?) I got 277/(11 x $3.29). This equaled 7.65. But it couldn't possibly be $7.65. Would it be 7.65 cents?
