Supplies Needed:
Today I will be showing you how to help insure that you dont lose A good way to insure that you dont lose money is to money in your operation. In other words-Job Security. manage your food cost.
PA GOVERNORS INSTITUTE--2005 2. Assess students math awareness as it relates to the CTE lesson. Give students several menus without prices. Ask: What would you charge for these items? List prices on menu.
Ask: Why do you need to charge more for the menu item than what are Help students to come up with factors (e.g. more costs you? expensive ingredients may be in some items) Ask: What are some factors that would affect how much money you can Explain about overhead in a restaurant and how much it make off of these menu items? takes to run and profit from the overall amount taken in. Fact: More than 75% of restaurants fail in the first year of operation. Why? Ask: Does anyone know what a percentage means? How to multiply a percent? Ask: What is profit? Ask: How do you calculate that? Discussion-What are the reasons?
3. Work through the math example embedded in the CTE lesson. If it costs you 95 to make a cheeseburger, how much do you have to Food cost should be no more than 30% of the selling charge the customer to make a profit off of the item? price. In order to achieve this you need to know how to figure out the following information. 30% of what # is 95 Change 30% to a decimal= .30 Divide 95 by .30 to determine the required selling price. 95 .30 = $3.166

Ask: Have you ever seen prices expressed in amounts like this? Why Answer. Because of perceived value. not? You need to round up, never down, the selling price to a figure that people perceive to be a better value. Like-$3.25 or even better $3.95 . Try to avoid using the dollar sign on a menu- it makes people think of Super Colossal Cheeseburger- 3.95 money.
(Use a smaller font for the price and never list in order, people will comparatively shop)
4. Work through related, contextual math-in-CTE examples. Another way you could write the same problem out would be. First you must change 30% into a decimal Ask: How do you do this? 30% of selling cost (SC) is ingredient cost (IG) x=selling cost
part whole
IC 30% = SC 100%
! !
.95 30% = x 100% ! First you must change 30% into a decimal, divide 30% by 100 = .30
Explain: Numbers in ( ) next to each other means multiply. Cross multiply: (.30) x = (.95)(100)
30 x = 95
PA GOVERNORS INSTITUTE--2005
30x 95 = 30 30
x= $3.166
x " $3.166
If your ingredient cost of a tuna sandwich is .42 what should your ! selling price be?
!
!
Now, if you decide to round the selling price of your cheeseburger to ! Divide food cost by selling price and multiply by 100. $3.95, figure out what your food cost percentage would be. .95 3.95 x 100 = 24% Wow! 24% food cost? Youre making money!
PA GOVERNORS INSTITUTE--2005 5. Work through traditional math examples. Now we can apply this concept to other areas. Show work for each problem and be ready to discuss answers with the class. 1. A set of wrenches marked to sell for $159.95 was put on sale at a discount rate of 15%. What is the selling price? 2. What is the selling price of an article marked at $499.95 and selling at a discount of 23%? 3. If an 18% discount is allowed on an article marked at $350.00, what is the selling price? What is the amount of discount? 4. Automobile tires are on sale for 20% off. What will a set of four tires cost that was marked to sell at $45.00 each? What was the total discount? 6. Students demonstrate their understanding. Give students menus from our restaurant and have them cost the items out at current market value. Have students present findings on poster board.
$45.00x4=$180.00 $180.00x.20=$36.00
Ask: Could we possibly sell the menu items for the same amount this Discuss what would happen to a restaurant if they never year? What would our food cost be if we were to sell these items at the reevaluated their menu prices? old amount?
PA GOVERNORS INSTITUTE--2005 7. Formal assessment. Possible Test Questions. What should the minimum selling price be on a lobster tail special that costs $4.75 to prepare?
If you are selling a prime rib dinner for $17.95 and is costs you $3.25 to $3.25 ! $17.95=18.1% ! prepare what is your food cost percentage? Are you making money? Yes
