Answer: $7.10

Step-by-step explanation:

The Contribution margin of a good refers to the amount left of the sales after the variable costs have been removed from it. It is useful in calculating the breakeven point as it can divide the fixed costs to find out the number of units needed to breakeven.

It is therefore calculated as:

= Sales - Variable cost

= 22.95 - 15.85

= $7.10
