Question

On the box of a cake mix, the recipe says that it makes 24 cupcakes. When

the baker makes the cake mix, it only makes 16 cupcakes. What's the percent
yield of cupcakes?

Answer 1

%yield = actual/theoretical x 100%

%yield = 16/24 x 100%

% yield = 67%

Answer 2

You would set it up like this…

Actual yield/Theoretical yield x 100

16/24 x 100

The answer is 66.7% or 67%
