Chef Charming and his mother sell cheese steak sandwiches at their food truck. They use fresh onions, and cook them slowly to caramelize them before putting them on their sandwiches.

He currently pays an AP$ of $1.87 per pound for fresh onions, but his yield is 50% after peeling and cooking the onions. What is the EP$ for the fresh onions, after caramelizing?

$3.74

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of fresh onions = $1.87 per pound

Percentage yield = 100% after caramelizing

Therefore EP$ for the fresh onions after caramelizing will be :

(1 + percentage yield) * cost of fresh onions

(1 + 100%) * $1.87

(1 + 1) * $1.87

2 * $1.87

= $3.74
