Possible Strategies and Solutions:
[Solutions may vary according to average cost predicted.]
Using Strategy A:
• Estimate $59 per case:
o Average cost= $59:00 per case (of 48 avocados)
o 59/48 avocados = $1.23 (average cost of one avocado)
o $1.23 + .40 = $1.63. (Total Cost of ingredients)
o For rule of thumb (times 4) use $1.63 x 4 = $6.52 or about $6.50 (menu price).
