Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

$1.50

Here’s why:

Assuming that the cake has one slice per person (16 slices):

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\frac{\text{price}}{\text{slice}}\\\\\rightarrow (24)/(16)\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{1.50}`

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Each slice should cost $1.50.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
