Scrap Rate Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Scrap Rate.
SCRAP = WS / WM * 100
- Where SCRAP is the Scrap Rate (%)
- WS is the total weight of scrap
- WM is the total weight of material
How to Calculate Scrap Rate?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Scrap Rate.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the total weight of scrap.
- The total weight of scrap is given as: 300.
- Next, determine the total weight of material.
- The total weight of material is provided as: 600.
- Finally, calculate the Scrap Rate using the equation above:
SCRAP = WS / WM * 100
The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.
SCRAP = 300 / 600 * 100 = 50.00 (%)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
total weight of scrap = 200
total weight of material = 1000
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator..
SCRAP = WS / WM * 100 = ?
