r a f a e l is making punch and needs a yelling of raspberry s o r b e t and 2 l of lemon lime soda to make 12 cups he pays $3 for a 2 l container of lemon lime soda and 4 dollars for a quart of s o r b e t what is the minimum amount of money he should charge per cup for punch to make a $10 profit remember there are four quarts in a gallon your answer should be a dollar a month
To make 12 cups of punch, each containing a tablespoon of raspberry sherbet and 2 ounces of lemon-lime soda, Raphael will need 12 tablespoons of raspberry sherbet and 24 ounces (or 3 cups) of lemon-lime soda.
Raphael paid $3 for a 2-liter container of lemon-lime soda. Since there are 33.8 ounces in a liter, he paid $3 for 67.6 ounces of soda. As he needs 24 ounces for the punch, the cost of the soda used for 12 cups of punch is (24/67.6) * $3 = $1.06.
Similarly, Raphael paid $4 for a quart, which is 32 ounces, of raspberry sherbet. As he requires 12 tablespoons, or 6 ounces, of sherbet for the punch, the cost of the sherbet used for 12 cups of punch is (6/32) * $4 = $0.75.
Therefore, Raphael will spend $1.06 on soda and $0.75 on sherbet for 12 cups of punch, making a total cost of $1.06 + $0.75 = $1.81.
If Raphael wants to make a $10 profit, he should charge $1.81 + $10 = $11.81 in total.
Since there are 12 cups, he should charge $11.81 / 12 = $0.984 per cup.
To round up to the nearest dollar, Raphael should charge $1.00 per cup for the punch.
