Measurements and assumptions

Record A

Full packs2
Weight per pack (g)1000
Open pack remaining (g)0
Weight per bake (g)250
Item namePlain flour
Storage locationHousehold supply shelf
Minimum stock0

Record B

Full packs1
Weight per pack (g)500
Open pack remaining (g)100
Weight per bake (g)200
Item nameGluten-free flour
Storage locationHousehold supply shelf
Minimum stock0

Calculation and observed tool result

Record A

Stock = 2 × 1000 + 0 = 2,000 g; floor(2,000 ÷ 250) = 8 bakes

Recorded quantity: 2,000 g.

Record B

Stock = 1 × 500 + 100 = 600 g; floor(600 ÷ 200) = 3 bakes

Recorded quantity: 600 g.

Carry out this task

  1. Open the linked tool for Record A.
  2. Keep names and dose assumptions distinct in My Items.
  3. Check each result separately; follow the interpretation before retaining both records as physical stock.

What the result means

Eight and three complete bakes refer to different ingredients and recipes.

A mistake to avoid

Adding bake counts across these records would imply interchangeability.
