Seasoning into meat

Question

If 3 lbs of seasoning goes into 25 lbs of meat. How much of the same seasoning would go into 7.2 pounds of meat

Answer 1

Mathematically you can multiply the amount of seasoning for 3 pounds to 7.2 pounds but you may run the risk of over seasoning, especially if the seasoning contains salt. Instead, add about 75% of the calculated seasoning amount, take a portion of the meat, cook it, then taste to to make sure seasoning is correct. Hope that helps.

Answer 2

10.42 is the answer. Dividing 25 by 7.2 gives you the proportion, then you multiply that by 3.
