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).
