To find the yield percentage, you can divide the weight of the peeled bananas by the weight of the unpeeled bananas and multiply by 100%.

The weight of the peeled bananas is 3lbs 6oz = 3 * 16 + 6 = 54 ounces.

The yield percentage is (54 / (10 * 16)) * 100% = 83.3%.

So, the yield percentage is 83.3%. This means that after peeling the bananas, you were left with 83.3% of the original weight of the unpeeled bananas.
