To calculate the free and reduced price ratios, divide column A by column B, carry to four decimal

C. Determine the paid participation rate by subtracting the sum of Column C, free plus reduced,
from 1.000.

Multiply column C by column D and record the results by category. The total number of meals in

number of lunches in column E is different from column D. This adjustment is due to the effects
of rounding.
