Math-In-Cte Lesson Plan - Finding The Cost Per Serving And Determining Menu Price Page 6

Food

Cost

So,

Price

Percent

Say: We often use a 33% Food Cost so, in the previous

example, what would be a quick way to estimate to see if this

answer is about right?

(What would 3 times the food cost be?)

4. Work through related, contextual math-in-CTE

examples.

If I am given a budget to feed a family of 4 for $10, how

would learning to cost a recipe help? What would I need to

do to make sure I stayed in my budget?

You are in charge of a banquet for 100 people. How much

money would you ask for? What if your budget was $300?

How would you determine what you would make? Being able

to do a food cost could help you how? What if you wanted to

make a profit?

5. Work through traditional math examples.

See worksheet below.

6. Students demonstrate their understanding.

Using a recipe handed out and the worksheet with costing

amounts:

1. First, figure the cost of a serving.

2. Then, figure the menu price.
