Hello! We can go ahead and eliminate C and D, because those answers don't make any sense. There are 2 cups in 1 pint and there are 4 pints. 2 * 4 is 8. There are 8 cups in 4 pints. The cost for that much ice cream is $16.39. To dins the cost per cup, let's divide that number by the number of cups, which is 8. 16.39/8 is 2.04875 or 2.05 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. The cost for a cup of ice cream is $2.05. The answer is A: $2.05.
