Answer:

10 pounds of strip lion

Step-by-step explanation:

1. find total percentage of loss (trim loss % + cooking loss %) = 60% + 20% = 80%

2. find how many pounds make up 80% of 50 lbs. = 100%

(50 lbs. = 100%) / 100 = (0.50 = 1%) * 80 = (40 lbs. = 80%)

3. find # of pounds left to serve (total weight of strip loin - total weight of loss) = 50 lbs. - 40 lbs. = 10 lbs.
