minus-squarepipes@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up7·12 hours agoActually about 28$/lb, or about 32$ hashbrown price per 1$ potato cost 56g is 0.12345 pounds. 0.87/3.49*0.12345=0.03077 (assuming it’s only potatoes… this is the ratio between potato cost and McD hashbrown price). We invert it to flip the ratio: 0.03077^-1= 32.5. 32.5$ for every 1$ of potatoes.
