| To calculate a menu effectively the net yield must be considered to order the correct quantities. |
| To do so correctly, the trimmings are weighed. |
| If you buy one kilogram of carrots for $1.40 per Kg and have peelings and offucts weighing 0.160 Kg, then you will obtain 840 g of peeled carrots. |
| Therefore these 840 g of carrots cost you now $1.40. |
| Therefore to work out the price for 1 kg of peeled Carrots , the trimming percentage has to be added |
| to the original price for 1 kg of unpeeled carrots. |

|
| 1000 g Carrots = $ 1.40 |
|
|
| 16% of 1000 g = 1000 x 16 : 100 = 160 g |
|
|
| 1000 g (Carrots) - 160 g (Trimmings) = 840 g |
|
|
| Therefore these 840 g of peeled carrots will now still cost $ 1.40 |
| To obtain now the price for 1 kg of peeled carrots we need to establish the following formula |
|
|
| 0.840 kg = $ 1.40 |
|
|
| 1.000 kg = $ X |
|
|
| X = (1.000 x 1.40) / 0.840 |
|
|
| X = 1.40 / 0.840 |
|
|
| X = 1.666 |
|
|
| X = 1.67 |
|
|
| The price for 1 kg of peeled carrots is $ 1.67 |
