To find the cost of the flour for each cake, we can follow these steps:

1. Calculate the cost per quarter cup of flour:

  Cost per quarter cup = Cost of the 10-pound bag / Number of quarter cup servings

  Cost per quarter cup = $8.79 / 152

  Cost per quarter cup ≈ $0.0579

2. Convert the amount of flour used for one cake to quarter cups:

  3 3/4 cups = 15 quarter cups

3. Find the total cost of the flour for 10 cakes:

  Total cost = Cost per quarter cup * Quarter cups per cake * Number of cakes

  Total cost ≈ $0.0579 * 15 * 10

  Total cost ≈ $8.685

4. Round the total cost to the nearest cent:

  Total cost ≈ $8.69

Therefore, the cost of the flour for each cake, rounded to the nearest cent, is approximately $8.69. Â
