1. What would the EP weight be for a 40 lb roast if 7 lb 4 oz are lost through trimming and cutting. Calculate the AP, EP and W percentages. How many 6 oz servings can you get from the EP weight?
AP weight: _________ AP%: __________ EP weight: _________ EP%: __________ W weight: _________ W%: __________ Number of Servings: ________
2. What would the EP weight be for a roast weighing 40 lb and a waste percentage of 18.06%? Calculate the remaining weights and percentages. How many 8 oz servings will you get from the EP weight?
AP weight: _________ AP%: __________ EP weight: _________ EP%: __________ W weight: _________ W%: __________ Number of Servings: ________
Question 1: EP weight=AP weight-Waste{trimming and cutting weight}
Here given
AP weight= 40 lb = 40*16 = 640 oz
Waste W= 7 lb 4 oz = 7*16 + 04= 116 0z
EP Weight = 640 -116= 524 oz
AP %= (640 oz/640 oz)*100 = 100 %
EP%= (524 oz/ 640 Oz)*100 =81.88%
W %= (116/ 640)*100 =18.13%
How many 6 oz servings can you get from the EP weight?
= EP WEIGHT/ 06OZ = 524 OZ/06 oz =87.33 serves.
2. What would the EP weight be for a roast weighing 40 lb and a waste percentage of 18.06%? Calculate the remaining weights and percentages. How many 8 oz servings will you get from the EP weight?
EP weight=AP weight-Waste{trimming and cutting weight}
Here given
AP weight= 40 lb = 40*16 = 640 oz
Waste W= 18.06 % of AP Weight= 0.1806 * 640 = 115.58 0z
EP Weight = 640 -115.58= 524.42 oz
AP %= (640 oz/640 oz)*100 = 100 %
EP%= (524.42 oz/ 640 Oz)*100 =81.94%
W %= 18.06%
How many 8 oz servings can you get from the EP weight?
= EP WEIGHT/ 06OZ = 524.42 OZ/08 oz =65.55 serves.
