How much does the restaurant pay for the potatoes?
What is it's overhead cost in frying these potatoes?
What does it charge for an order of fries?
To find out how much money the restaurant is making when they use 400 pounds of potatoes, we need to break it down step by step.
Step 1: Determine the number of potatoes in 400 pounds
Since there are about 20 potatoes in a five-pound bag, we can calculate the number of potatoes in 400 pounds by dividing 400 by 5 and then multiplying by 20.
Number of potatoes = (400 / 5) * 20 = 80 * 20 = 1600 potatoes
So, the restaurant is using 1600 potatoes when they use 400 pounds.
Step 2: Calculate the number of orders of french fries
Knowing that each order of french fries requires two potatoes, we can divide the total number of potatoes by 2 to determine the number of orders.
Number of orders = 1600 / 2 = 800 orders
Therefore, the restaurant is making 800 orders of french fries when they use 400 pounds of potatoes.
Step 3: Calculate the amount of money made
Now that we know the number of orders of french fries, we can calculate the amount of money made. However, we would need more information on the pricing of an order of french fries. Once we have that information, we can multiply the number of orders by the price to find the total revenue for the day.
