your restaurant serves 50 bowls of French onion soup daily and each serving has 8 ounces of onion per portion. Do you think it w

I would be better to purchase whole onions at $1.99 per pound, and cut them yourself

<h3>Optimization of cost</h3>

Number of bowls = 50

Weight of each bowl = 8

Total weight of the onion soup = 8 x 50 = 400 ounces

Note that:

1 pound = 16 ounces

Total weight in pounds = 400/16

Total weight in pounds = 25 pounds

If you buy the whole onions and purchase at $1.99 per pound

Total cost = 25 x 1.99 = $49.75

If you purchase pre-sliced onions at $2.99 per pound

Total cost = 25 x $2.99 = $74.75

Since it is cheaper to purchase whole onions at $1.99 per pound, it is the better choice
