Question

Eggplant has a yield of 81%. If you purchase 12lb of eggplant, how many pounds will you be able to use?(round to the nearest hundredth pound)

Answer 1

Answer:

9.72 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Yield = the amount or quantity produced or returned.

Given:

• Yield of eggplant = 81%
• Amount of eggplant purchased = 12 lb

To determine how many pounds of eggplant you will be able to use, calculate 81% of the amount of eggplant purchased.

$\begin{aligned}\sf 81\% \: of \: 12 \: lb & = \sf \dfrac{81}{100} \cdot 12\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{81 \cdot 12}{100}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{972}{100}\\\\& = \sf 9.72\:lb\end{aligned}$

Therefore, you will be able to use 9.72 lb (nearest hundredth).
