1. **Problem:** A student entrepreneur spent $900$ to prepare $45$ cups of iced lemon tea and wants a $35\%$ profit based on the total production cost. Find the selling price per cup.
2. **Formula:** Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price
Profit Percentage = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost Price}} \times 100\%$
Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit
3. **Step 1:** Calculate total profit desired:
$$\text{Profit} = 35\% \times 900 = 0.35 \times 900 = 315$$
4. **Step 2:** Calculate total selling price:
$$\text{Selling Price Total} = 900 + 315 = 1215$$
5. **Step 3:** Calculate selling price per cup:
$$\text{Selling Price per cup} = \frac{1215}{45}$$
6. **Step 4:** Simplify the fraction:
$$\frac{1215}{45} = \frac{\cancel{1215}^{27} \times 45}{\cancel{45}} = 27$$
7. **Answer:** The selling price per cup is $27$.
