Step 1:
Calculate the cost to the business.

Total Cost: $0 = 0 (lbs. of product) * $0 (business cost per pound)

Step 2:
We work backwards from the amount of money needed to ensure a 20% margin by first calculating the total amount of money this product needs to generate.

Sale Price Target: $0 = $0 (total cost) * 120%

Step 3:
Determine the minimum weight necessary to sell at the sale price.

Weight for Margin: NaN lbs. = $0 (sale target) / $0 (sale price)

Here we can do an early calculation of allowable waste and trim, but remember water weight is still included in this number and we haven't factored in any reuse of good trim.

Early Waste Calculation: NaN lbs. = 0 lbs. (total weight) - NaN lbs. (minimum weight for margin)

Step 4:
Let's figure out how much money we can recover from the trim.

Recovery Moneys: $0 = 0 lbs. (usable trim) * $0 (trim sale price)

Step 5:
Adjust the weight and minimum weight for margin by removing the weight of the usable trim.

Adjusted Sale Target: $0 = $0 (sales price target, from step 2) - $0 (recovery moneys)
Adjusted Weight for Margin: NaN lbs. = $0 (adjusted sales target) / $0 (sale price)

Step 6:
Calculate the total weight of all waste and by-product that isn't the original product.

Waste Weight: NaN lbs. = 0 lbs. (sealed weight) - NaN lbs. (adjusted weight for margin)

Step 7:
Take out water weight and usable trim weight to give the final maximum weight of trim waste.

Trim Waste: NaN lbs. = NaN lbs. (adjusted weight for margin, step 6) - 0 lbs. (water weight) - 0 lbs. (trim usable)
Water Weight: 0 lbs. = 0 lbs. (sealed weight) - 0 lbs. (drained weight)
