the complete question in attached figure

Let
x------------------- > actual yield
y------------------- > theoretical yield
z------------------- > percent yield
we have that
z=x/y
we know
x=47 g
y=56 g
therefore
z=47/56=0.839 ---------------- > 83.9\%

the answer is the option C 83.9\%

the theoretical yield which is the expected yield and the actual yield obtained are not always the same. therefore percent yield is calculated which shows how much of the percentage of the theoretical yield is actually obtained.
the theoretical yield = 56.0 g
actual yield = 47.0 g
percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100 %
percent yield = 47.0 / 56.0 x 100% = 83.9 %
percent yield = 83.9 %
