Sam is making punch and needs a gallon of sorbet and 2 litters of lemon lime soda to make 12 cups he pays 3 dollars for a 2 liter container of lemon lime soda and 4 dollars for a quart of sorbet what is the minimum amount he should charge per cup of punch to make a ten dollar profit? 4 quarts to a gallon dollar amount rounded to nearest 100
To make 12 cups of punch, Sam needs 2 liters of lemon-lime soda, which costs 3 dollars per 2-liter container, and a gallon of sorbet, which costs 4 dollars per quart.
Since there are 4 quarts in a gallon, Sam needs to pay 4 * 4 = <<4*4=16>>16 dollars for a gallon of sorbet.
He also needs a gallon of sorbet, which costs 4 * 1 = <<4*1=4>>4 dollars.
So the total cost to make 12 cups of punch is 16 + 4 = <<16+4=20>>20 dollars.
To make a ten dollar profit, Sam should charge a total of 20 + 10 = <<20+10=30>>30 dollars.
Since there are 12 cups of punch, Sam should charge 30 / 12 = <<30/12=2.50>>2.50 dollars per cup.
Therefore, the minimum amount Sam should charge per cup of punch to make a ten dollar profit is 2.50 dollars.
