Question

The turkey Damian's dad bought at the store weighed 23 pounds after it was cooked. When his aunt cut all the meat off the bone, the meat weighed 17 pounds. Damian says that the meat of the cooked turkey was 74% of the weight of the turkey. Do you agree with Damian?

Answer 1

YES.

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of turkey with bone = 23 pound

Weight of turkey without bone = 17 pound

Computation:

Weight of turkey without bone percent = [17/23]100

Weight of turkey without bone percent = 73.913 %

Weight of turkey without bone percent = 74% (Approx)

So,

Damian says correct.
