Question

You are a cook at a restaurant. you are required to conduct a food inventory at the end of every week. you notice that there are 25 steaks in the front refrigerator, 18 are marinating for tonight's dinner and 125 are in the back freezer. how many total steaks are in stock at the restaurant currently?

Answer 1

Answer: 150

By inventory, we mean a complete list of items at the end of a business day. In the case of a cook who is required to conduct a food inventory at the end of every week, inventory should include the 25 steaks in the front refrigerator and the 125 in the back freezer. The 18  marinated for tonight's dinner should not be included  because it will be consumed that night.  The inventory of steaks therefore is 25+125=150.
