The baker bought the buttercream icing from Crave Cupcakes. Calculate how many containers of icing the baker needs to buy in order to ice a wedding cake. Each container of icing contains 16 ounces of icing. If it takes 56 ounces of icing to cover 678 square inches of cake, calculate the total cost for the icing before tax if each 16 ounce(2 cup) container of icing costs $10.
You need 4 16oz containers of icing to fully cover the cake. As each container costs $10, and you need 4 containers, the total cost of icing to cover the wedding cake, before tax, is $40.
