cutting one side of a T-bone steak provides the filet mignon and
cutting the other side provides the New York cut. One 16-ounce
T-bone steak cut in this way will yield one 6-ounce filet mignon
and one 8-ounce New York cut; the remaining ounces are waste. It
costs $0.17 to further process one T-bone steak into the filet
mignon and New York cuts. The filet mignon can be sold for $4.00
per pound, and the New York cut can be sold for $3.40 per
pound.

further processing one T-bone steak into filet mignon and New York
cut steaks? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round
your answers to 2 decimal places.)
