You paid $ 21.35 for 20-kg of golden beets. After peeling and slicing, you have exactly 17 kg of beets remaining. What is the EP cost per pound for the prepped beets

Solution

Rule is that 1 kg = 2.2046 pounds.

Now we further have the rule that

% yeild = EP cost /AP cost            where AP cost = As purchased price.

Here % yeild = 17/20 = 85%=0.85

so from above rule,

0.85 = EP cost /21.35

or EP cost per kg = 0.85(21.35) = $18.1475 per kg

so EP cost per pound = $18.1475/2.2046 = 8.23

so required answer is $8.23
