Rafael needs a gallon of raspberry sorbet, which is equal to 4 quarts. So he needs 4 quarts * $4.00/quart = $<<4*4=16.00>>16.00 of sorbet.
He also needs 2 liters of lemon-lime soda, which costs $3.00 per 2-liter container. So he needs 1 container * $3.00/container = $<<1*3=3.00>>3.00 of soda.
In total, Rafael spends $16.00 + $3.00 = $<<16+3=19.00>>19.00 on ingredients.
To make a $10.00 profit, Rafael must charge at least $19.00 + $10.00 = $<<19+10=29.00>>29.00 in total.
Since there are 12 cups, each cup should be priced at $29.00 / 12 cups = $<<29/12=2.42>>2.42 per cup.
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, Rafael should charge $2.42 per cup of punch. Answer: \boxed{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)
