To find out how much profit Latanya earns from selling one cake, you need to calculate the total expenses for making the cake and then subtract those expenses from the selling price. The total cost of making one cake is: - Cost of cake mix: \$4.50 - Cost of frosting: \$1.00 - Cost of cake box: \$0.50 Adding these together: \(4.50 + 1.00 + 0.50 = 6.00\) Now, subtract the total costs from the selling price: Selling price: \$10.00 Total expenses: \$6.00 Profit = Selling price - Total expenses Profit = \$10.00 - \$6.00 = \$4.00 So, she will earn a profit of \$4.00. The correct answer is D, \$4.00.
