A 28 pound turkey with a 41% waste factor will yield the following usable meat;


\begin{gathered} \text{Waste}=28*(41)/(100) \\ \text{Waste}=(1148)/(100) \\ \text{Waste=11.48 lb} \end{gathered}

If the waste factor is now calculated as 11.48 lb, then the amount of usable meat is derived as;

Usable = Total amount - Waste

Usable = 28 - 11.48

Usable = 16.52 lb

Since we already know that one pound
