Answer:

The correct answer is - 45.56%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

chicken weighs = 31 lbs

left clean meat = 14 lbs and 2 oz or 14+2/16

Formula:

A reasonable assumption for the definition of 'yield percent' is :

= (lbs of edible product) / (lbs of product as-purchased) * 100%

Solution:

Putting the values in the given formula:

= (14 + 2/16) / (31) * 100

= 14.125 / 31 * 100

= 45.56% (or 45.6% when rounded to one decimal place).
