A Standardized Formula* Purchase Xnumber of svg needed Xsvg size needed Units for number of svg listed svg size listed = 100 Svgs (FBG Col. 4) (Col. 5) • (B) (C) QUANITY NEEDED (D) *Formula developed with the guidance of Dr. E.L. Miller, Professor of Mathematics, University of Mississippi
Corn, Whole Kernel, vacuum packed, #10 cans Step 2: A. Purchase units for 100 svgs (FBG Column 5) = 3.0 # 10 cans B. # servings needed = 460 = 4.6 # servings listed 100 • Svg size needed = ½ cup = .50 = 2 Svg size listed ¼ cup .25 • Quantity needed: (a) 3.0 X (b) 4.6 X (c) 2 = (d) 27.6 # 10 cans Step 3: 27.6 #10 cans needed = 28 cans
Ex: Ground Beef, 20% fat Step 2: • Purchase unit for 100 servings (FBG column 5) = 8.5 lbs/100 1-oz svgs • #svgs needed = 230 = 2.3 # svgs listed = 100 • Svg size needed = 2 oz = 2 Svg size listed 1 oz • Quantity needed: (a) 8.5 X (b) 2.3 X (c) 2 = (d) 39.1 lbs
Ex: Crinkle-Cut French Fries • Step 2: • Purchase unit for 100 svgs • (FBG column 5) = 8.0 lbs • B. # servings needed = 380 = 3.8 • # servings needed 100 • Svg size needed = 1/2 cup = .50 = 2 • Svg size listed ¼ cup .25 • Quantity needed: • (a) 8.0 X (b) 3.8 X (c) 2 = 60.8 lbs
Ex: Green Peas, frozen Step 2: • Purchase unit for 100 svgs (FBG column 5) = 10.5 lbs B. # servings needed = 330 = 3.3 # servings needed 100 • Svg size needed = 1/2 cup = .50 = 2 Svg size listed ¼ cup .25 • Quantity needed: (a) 10.5 X (b) 3.3 X (c) 2 = 69.3 lbs
