  1. Gobble ‘til you Wobble! Today’s Task: Determine actual cost of recipes using unit pricing!!!

  2. What is Unit Pricing? The actual cost of the ingredients that you are going to USE in the recipe … For instance If the container holds 2 cups but you only need to use 1 cup of that ingredient You would Divide the cost of that item in half If the container cost $2, you would have used $1 worth in your recipe

  3. Additional Example • 1 Check the packaging to determine its size. Bags of sugar are sold by the pound, for example. If a 4 lb. bag of sugar costs $3.20, you can easily calculate its unit pricing. • 2 Divide $3.20 (the price of the sugar) by 4 (the unit, in pounds). The unit pricing is 80 cents per pound. • If there were 4 cups in a pound and you only needed 1 cup, the sugar would cost you 20 cents for that recipe Read more: How to Calculate Unit Pricing for Groceries | eHow.comhttp://www.ehow.com/how_2284331_calculate-unit-pricing.html#ixzz1di6FkBev (adapted)
