1 answer

The first step is to figure out how many quarts are in 16 cups. There are 4 cups in a quart, so:

16 cups ÷ 4 cups/quart = 4 quarts

Now we can divide the cost by the number of quarts to find the price per quart:

$12.64 ÷ 4 quarts = $3.16/quart

Therefore, the price per quart of laundry detergent is $3.16.
