Rafael is making punch and needs a gallon of raspberry sorbet and 2 liters of Sprite to make 12 cups. He pays $3.00 for a 2-liter container of Sprite 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.(1 point)

$1.17
since a gallon is already more than 12 cups, how can she need 1 gallon plus 2 liters to make 12 cups?
BOGUS!
However,
since 1 liter = 4.23 cups, it costs $19.00 to make 24.26 cups of punch
so to make $10 on 12 cups, that would be 1/2 a batch, costing $9.50
so she needs to charge 19.50/12 = $1.63 per cup
