Aunt Sally's "New Orleans Most Famous Pralines" sells pralines costing $1.04 each to make. If Aunt Sally's wants a 30% markup based on the selling price and produces 35 pralines with an anticipated 20% spoilage, what should each praline be sold for? (Use your unrounded "number of units available for sale" value (after accounting for spoilage). Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
