Question

"Figure out the cost to make One (1) 20 oz. Iced Tea. (show all work)

One (1) 20 oz. Iced Tea requires:

1 Tea Bag
20 oz. Cup
Lid
Straw
5 pumps of Syrup (1 pump = ¼ oz.)
Things required to make tea:

1 bottle of syrup = 25.4 oz. 1 Bottle of syrup costs $3.80
A box of 100 tea bags costs $4.52
Lids (1 case of 500 count = $16.18)
A box of 500 straws costs $4.50
1 case of 300 24 oz. cups costs $31.60 (use this to calculate the cost of 1 24 oz. cup)
1 case of 500 20 oz. cups costs $48.38 (use this to calculate the cost of 1 20 oz. cup)"

Answer 1

The cost to make one 20 oz. Iced Tea is calculated by summing the individual costs of a tea bag, cup, lid, straw, and syrup, which comes to approximately \$0.36.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost to make one 20 oz. Iced Tea, we must calculate the individual costs for each component required to make the tea:

• Cost of one tea bag = \( \frac{\$4.52}{100} \) = \$0.0452
• Cost of one 20 oz. cup = \( \frac{\$48.38}{500} \) = \$0.09676
• Cost of one lid = \( \frac{\$16.18}{500} \) = \$0.03236
• Cost of one straw = \( \frac{\$4.50}{500} \) = \$0.009
• Cost for 5 pumps of syrup = 5 \times \frac{1}{4} \text{ oz. } = 1.25 \text{ oz. } = \frac{1.25}{25.4} \times \$3.80 = \$0.1791

Adding all of these costs together:

Total cost = \$0.0452 + \$0.09676 + \$0.03236 + \$0.009 + \$0.1791 = \$0.36242

Thus, the cost to make one 20 oz. Iced Tea is approximately \$0.36.
