You have purchased 35 pounds of green beans with a 23% waste. How many 4 oz. portions will be prepared?

a. 204-4 oz. portions

b. 107-4 oz. portions

c. 150-4 oz. portions

d. 181-4 oz. portions

The correct answer is B. 107-4 oz.

Correct Answer Explanation:

Asking for the edible portion. To calculate determine yield (100 - 23% = 77% yield); multiply 35 lbs (AP) by 77% (yield) = 26.95 lbs; 26.95 lbs x 16 oz/lb = 431.2 oz divided by 4 oz. serving = 107-4 oz. portions.

Incorrect Answers Explanation:

This question is asking for the EP (edible portion) after preparing the food. If you were asked for the AP (as purchased amount) you would divide the edible portion by the yield.
