You are prepping mango salsa for 120 guests. Each plate will have 2 ounces of mango on it. Mangos are purchased by the piece. Each mango weighs 11 ounces before it is cleaned. The yield percent for mango is 69 percent. How many mangos should you purchase?

Next: find the amount you need 120*2=240 ounces
Divide 240/7.59= 31.62 so you need 32
