If you have 3 turkey Cobb salads on hand and the production sheet calls for 9, how many should you make?

To determine how many turkey Cobb salads you should produce, you first need to look at the production sheet, which indicates a requirement for 9 salads. Since you currently have 3 salads already prepared, you only need to make up the difference to meet the demand specified in the production sheet.

This means you subtract the number of salads you have from what you need: 9 (required) - 3 (on hand) = 6. Therefore, making 6 additional salads will allow you to fulfill the total order for 9 salads.

This calculation is crucial in managing inventory and ensuring that demand is met effectively while minimizing waste in the deli department.
