Answer 1

According to the calculations made, 5 kilograms of carrots should be ordered.

Since you need to prepare 50 portions of carrots, Jardinière cut, and a prepared portion after peeling and trimming weighs 0.070 kg, and peelings and trimmings account for 30% of the total weight, to determine what quantity of carrots do you need to order, the following calculation must be performed:

• 100 - 30 = 70
