How much are we spending on a single serving of 3 cups of popped popcorn?

Question

Okay so my friend and I are running a business to sell popcorn. In order to find out how much to sell our popcorn for we need to figure out how much we're spending making just one serving. We are serving 3 cups of popcorn for each person. Our popcorn popper pops 6 quarts (6 ounces of unpopped popcorn) We bought a 50 lb bag of kernels for $34.98 We need to know how much unpopped popcorn we're using in 3 cups and how much that is out of the $34.98. We're also using popcorn oil that cost $9.98 for one gallon. And salt that is 35 oz for $2.06 If we use 3/4 cups of kernels (turns into 24 cups of popped popcorn), 1/4 cup of oil, and 1 tbsp of salt. So, how much are we spending on a single serving of 3 cups of popped popcorn?

Answer 1

50 lbs = weight

3/4 cup = volume

 

If you can get a volume measurement off the 50 lb. bag of kernels, like cups or quarts, then you can compare that to how many kernels you are using to make the popped popcorn.

 

It's either that or weighing the 3/4 cup of kernels, so that you have comparable measurements.
