Question

ou purchase 6 rutabagas, each weighing 3 pounds. After cleaning you are left with 151/3 pounds of cleaned rutabaga. What is the yield percent for the rutabaga

Answer 1

85.2%

Explanation:

6 × 3 lb = 18 lb

You started with 18 lb.

You are left with 15 1/3 lb.

The part is 15 1/3 lb.

The whole is 18 lb.

percent = part/whole × 100%

percent = (15 1/3)/(18) × 100%

percent = 85.185...%

Answer: 85.2%
