Rafael is making punch and needs a gallon of raspberry sorbet and 2 liters of lemon-lime soda to
make 12 cups. He pays $3.00 for a 2-liter container of lemon-lime soda and $4.00 for a quart of
sorbet. What is the minimum amount he should charge per cup of punch to make a $10 profit?
(Remember there are 4 quarts in a gallon.) Your answer should be a dollar amount rounded to the
nearest hundredth.

To find the minimum amount Rafael should charge per cup of punch to make a $10 profit, we need to calculate his total cost and his total revenue.
First, let's calculate Rafael's total cost:
- Rafael needs 2 liters of lemon-lime soda, and he pays $3.00 for a 2-liter container. So his cost for the lemon-lime soda is $3.00.
- Rafael needs a gallon of raspberry sorbet, and he pays $4.00 for a quart of sorbet. Since there are 4 quarts in a gallon, he would need to buy 4 x $4.00 = $16.00 worth of sorbet.
- Therefore, Rafael's total cost is $3.00 + $16.00 = $19.00.
Next, let's calculate Rafael's total revenue:
- Rafael wants to make a $10 profit, so his total revenue needs to be his total cost plus the $10 profit. Therefore, his total revenue is $19.00 + $10.00 = $29.00.
Finally, let's calculate the minimum amount Rafael should charge per cup:
- Rafael needs to make his total revenue ($29.00) by selling 12 cups of punch. So to find the minimum amount per cup, we divide the total revenue by the number of cups: $29.00 / 12 cups = $2.42 (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
Therefore, Rafael should charge a minimum of $2.42 per cup of punch to make a $10 profit.
Apologies for the confusion. Let's recalculate.
The total cost of the ingredients for the punch is $3.00 for the lemon-lime soda and $4.00 for a quart of sorbet. Since there are 4 quarts in a gallon, Rafael needs 4 * $4.00 = $16.00 for the sorbet.
In total, the cost of the ingredients is $3.00 + $16.00 = $19.00.
To make a $10 profit, Rafael needs to charge the total cost plus the profit: $19.00 + $10.00 = $29.00.
The punch makes 12 cups, so to determine the minimum amount Rafael should charge per cup, we divide the total amount by the number of cups: $29.00 / 12 cups = $2.42 (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
Therefore, Rafael should charge a minimum of $2.42 per cup of punch to make a $10 profit.
If the mixture requires 5 gallons of gas for every 2 gallons of oil, we can set up a proportion to find the amount of oil needed for 8 gallons of gas.
Let x be the amount of oil needed for 8 gallons of gas.
The proportion can be written as: 5/2 = 8/x
Cross multiplying, we get: 5x = 2 * 8
5x = 16
Dividing both sides by 5, we find: x = 16/5 = 3.2
Therefore, Randi will need 3.2 gallons of oil for 8 gallons of gas.
IT IS WRONG ANSWER
but i said its wrong so why give same answer again
redo it.
Randi needs to mow her lawn. The mixture requires 5 gallons of gas for every 2 gallons of oil. How
much oil will she need for 8 gallons of gas? Your answer should be in tenths.
Laila is laying a path down for a new driveway. The store has three types of paver stones that will work
for her space. She needs to know which paver is the best price. Paver 1 costs $1.49 each, and she
will need twice as many as paver 2 and half as many as paver 3. Paver 2 costs $2.50 each. Paver 3
costs $0.75. Which paver will be the best buy? Your answer should be a number.
