The chef has 50 pounds of strip loin.
The trim loss on the strip loin is 60%
and the cooking loss is 20% of the
trimmed weight. How many pounds of
trimmed, cooked strip loin will the chef
have left to serve to his customers?
1-.2 = .8
1-.6 = .4
.8 * .4 * 50
Trim loss=60/100* 50
30
50-30=20
So, trim loss 20
Cooking loss= 20/20*50=50
50-50=0
So, cooking loss is 0
Thank you....
To find out how many pounds of trimmed, cooked strip loin the chef will have left to serve to his customers, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the trimmed weight of the strip loin.
The trim loss on the strip loin is 60%, which means that 60% of the original weight will be lost during trimming. To find the trimmed weight, we subtract the trim loss from the original weight.
Trimmed weight = Original weight - (Original weight × Trim loss)
Trimmed weight = 50 pounds - (50 pounds × 0.60)
Trimmed weight = 50 pounds - 30 pounds
Trimmed weight = 20 pounds
Step 2: Calculate the cooking loss.
The cooking loss is 20% of the trimmed weight. We need to subtract the cooking loss from the trimmed weight to determine the final weight of the cooked strip loin.
Cooked weight = Trimmed weight - (Trimmed weight × Cooking loss)
Cooked weight = 20 pounds - (20 pounds × 0.20)
Cooked weight = 20 pounds - 4 pounds
Cooked weight = 16 pounds
Therefore, the chef will have 16 pounds of trimmed, cooked strip loin left to serve to his customers.
