    Cake will have to sell for $30.857

    Explanation:

    Contribution is sales value less variable cost

    Contribution margin (CMR) is the percentage of the selling price that is earned as contribution.

    CMR for Pie = 11/18 * 100 = 61.%

    Let the price of Cake be y

    contribution per unit = y - 12

    0.611111111 = y - 12/y

    0.6111 y = y-12

    12 = y - 0.6111 y

    12 = 0.388 y

    y = 12/0.3888

    y=$30.857

    Cake will have to sell for $30.857
