First, we need to determine the total cost of the ingredients Rafael needs to make 12 cups of punch.
To make the punch, he needs 1 gallon of raspberry sorbet and 2 liters of lemon-lime soda.
Since there are 4 quarts in a gallon, a gallon of sorbet is equal to 4 * $4.00 = $16.00.
He also needs 2 liters of lemon-lime soda, which costs $3.00.
So, the total cost of the ingredients for 12 cups of punch is $16.00 + $3.00 = $19.00.
Next, we need to calculate how much Rafael needs to charge per cup to make a $10.00 profit.
Rafael wants to make a $10.00 profit, so he needs to charge $19.00 + $10.00 = $29.00 in total.
Since there are 12 cups, Rafael needs to charge $29.00 / 12 cups = $2.42 per cup of punch.
Therefore, the minimum amount Rafael should charge per cup of punch to make a $10.00 profit is $2.42, rounded to the nearest hundredth. Answer: $2.42.
Rafael is making punch and needs a gallon of raspberry sorbet and 2 liters of lemon-lime soda to make 12 cups. He pays $3.00 for a 2-liter container of lemon-lime soda 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)
