Answer:

$0.76 per serving of pumpkin pie

Step-by-step explanation:

the total cost of the ingredients needed to prepare a pumpkin pie = $1.50 + ($2.59 / 6) + ($5.99 / 6) + $1.25 + ($3.79 / 2) = $6.075

if we cut 8 servings per pie, then the cost per serving = total cost of the pie / number of servings = $6.075 / 8 = $0.759375 ≈ $0.76 per serving of pumpkin pie

We want to find the cost of each slice of a pie given that we know the price of the ingredients that we use to make the whole pie. We will see that the cost of a single slice is $0.75.

First, we must get the cost of the whole pie. We have:

  • $1.50 for the 15oz can of Pumpkin
  • We know that 12 eggs cost $2.59, then 2 eggs cost: (2/12)*$2.59 = $0.43.
  • We know that 1.12 oz of pie spice costs $5.99, and we use only one teaspoon of this, remember that: 1tsp = 0.167 oz, Then the cost of 1tsp of pie spice is: (0.167 oz)/(1.12 oz)*$5.99 = $0.89.
  • $1.25 for the 14oz can of evaporated milk.
  • One pie crust, we know that two of them cost $3,79, then only one costs: $3.79/2 = $1.90

The total cost is then:

C = $1.50 + $0.43 + $0.89 + $1.25 + $1.90 = $5.97

Now we know the total cost of the pie, and it has 8 slices, then each slice costs: $5.97/8 = $0.75
