How is food cost percentage pricing calculated?

Food cost percentage ÷ cost per portion=selling price
Cost per portion × food cost percentage ÷ number of portions served= selling price
Food cost × cost per portion÷.075= selling price
Cost per portion ÷ food cost percentage= selling price

Explanation

Answer: D - The cost per portion divided by the food cost percentage equals the selling price. For example, if the raw food cost for 1 salad is $1.70 and the desired food cost percentage is 23%, the formula would be 1.70÷0.23=7.39. The selling price of the salad would be $7.39.
