Strawberries are in season and I want to make strawberry
shortcakes for a class of 24 students. Each package of cakes contains 8 cakes
and costs $2.00. Strawberries cost 2 cents each and we will need 5
strawberries for each shortcake. The food store donated the whipped
cream to the school. What will it cost me to make strawberry shortcakes
for the class?
