Question

Please calculate the questions below:

10 portions or 1.45 ltr of finished pumpkin soup

320 g pumpkin, peeled

110 g onions cleaned and washed

1100 ml chicken stock

300 ml heavy cream

Please calculate the following

1. How much pumpkin peeled is needed for 165 portions at 135 ml per portion
2. How much onions cleaned is needed for 290 portions at 160 ml per portion
3. How much chicken stock needs to be prepared for 329 portions at 140 ml per portions?

A kilo pumpkin costs P 48 and after trimming there are only 720g pumpkin, peeled available

4. Please calculate the multiplication factor for the pumpkin to pumpkin peeled
5. How much pumpkin needs to be purchased to serve 165 portions of soup at 135 ml?

Answer 1

GIVEN:

For 10 portions or or 1.45 ltr or 1450 ml of finished pumpkin soup we need:

• 320 g pumpkin, peeled
• 110 g onions cleaned and washed

• 1100 ml chicken stock

• 300 ml heavy cream

We have to calculate:

• How much pumpkin peeled is needed for 165 portions at 135 ml per portion?

Peeled pumpkin required for 1450 ml of pumpkin soup=320 gm

Peeled pumpkin required for 1 ml of pumpkin soup= gm

  Peeled pumpkin required for 135 ml of pumpkin soup= gm

Peeled pumpkin required for 165 portions at 135 ml of pumpkin soup per portion= gm

   gm

• How much onions cleaned is needed for 290 portions at 160 ml per portion?

Cleaned onion required for 1450 ml of pumpkin soup=110 gm

  Cleaned onion required for 1 ml of pumpkin soup = gm

  Cleaned onion required for 160 ml of pumpkin soup = gm

  Cleaned onion required for 290 portions at 160 ml of pumpkin soup per portion = gm

   gm

• How much chicken stock needs to be prepared for 329 portions at 140 ml per portions?

Chicken stock required for 1450 ml of pumpkin soup=1100 ml

Chicken stock  required for 1 ml of pumpkin soup = ml

Chicken stock  required for 140 ml of pumpkin soup = ml

  Chicken stock  required for 329 portions at 160 ml of pumpkin soup per portion = ml

   ml

• To calculate the multiplication factor for the pumpkin to pumpkin peeled:

Now, a kilo pumpkin costs P 48 and after trimming there are only 720g pumpkin, peeled available.

i.e. 1000 gm pumpkin costs P 48 and after trimming there are only 720g pumpkin, peeled available.

Thus, the multiplication factor for the pumpkin to pumpkin peeled

• How much pumpkin needs to be purchased to serve 165 portions of soup at 135 ml?

We know that, peeled pumpkin required for 165 portions at 135 ml of pumpkin soup per portion is 4915.86 gm

pumpkin required for 165 portions at 135 ml of pumpkin soup per portion

=the multiplication factor for the pumpkin to pumpkin peeled    peeled pumpkin required for 165 portions at 135 ml of pumpkin soup per portion

   gm

  

Hope this helps!
