The Formula

I-18

Sliced Peaches Example (pg 12&13)

• Step 1– Decide the number of servings of the food

needed and the serving size needed.• 88 ¼ cup servings needed of canned sliced peaches

with juice

• Step 2– Use the Formula to determine the quantity

needed.

I-19


A Purchase Units for 100 servings (FBG Column 5) = 2.0 #10 cans

Column A

I-20


B Number of Servings Needed divided by 100 Servings = 88/100= .88

Column B

I-21


C Serving Size Needed divided by Serving Size Listed (FBG Column 4) = ¼ cup / ¼ cup = .25 / .25 = 1

Column C

Multiply=

D Quantity Needed Calculation:(A) 2.0 x (B) .88 x (C) 1= (D) 1.76 #10 cans

Column D

I-23

Always Round up to the nearest practical purchasing unit

1.76 #10 cans = 2 #10 cans2 #10 cans = 1 cases

Since #10 cans are purchased by the case (6 #10 cans in a case), the nearest practical amount to purchase is 1 case.

Calculation Example (Prob. #1 pg 14&15)

The recipe calls for Corn, whole kernel, vacuum pack, #10 cans. How many cans of corn should be purchased?

D Quantity Needed Calculation:(A) 3.0 x (B) 4.6 x (C) 2= (D) 27.6 #10 cans

Column D

I-30

Always Round up to the nearest practical purchasing unit

27.6 #10 cans = 28 #10 cans28/ 6 (6 cans per case) = 4.7 cases4.7 cases = 5 cases

Since #10 cans are purchased by the case (6 #10 cans in a case), the nearest practical amount to purchase is 5 cases.
