To find the price per cup of the orange sherbet, we first need to determine the total number of cups in a 3-quart tub.
Since there are 4 cups in 1 quart, we can calculate the total cups in 3 quarts:
\[
3 \text{ quarts} \times 4 \text{ cups/quart} = 12 \text{ cups}
\]
The total cost of the tub is $8.88. To find the price per cup, we divide the total cost by the number of cups:
\[
\text{Price per cup} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total cups}} = \frac{8.88}{12}
\]
Calculating that gives:
\[
\frac{8.88}{12} = 0.74
\]
Therefore, the price per cup of orange sherbet is **$0.74**.
