Six pounds of celery was delivered to Madison Street Elementary. While

prepping the celery for use in an upcoming recipe, 1/4 pound was

trimmed and discarded. What was the yield percentage of the celery? Remember the edible portion is the amount of food available to serve after it is trimmed.

Yield = (4.5/6)×100%

Yield = 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 6 pounds of celery is delivered to Madison Street Elementary.

During prepping the celery 1/4 pound is trimmed and discarded.

So the amount of celery that is left is given by

Amount left = Initial amount - Amount discarded

The initial amount was 6 pounds

The amount discarded is 1/4 of the initial amount

Amount discarded = 1/4×6

Amount discarded = 3/2 pounds

Amount discarded = 1.5 pounds

So the amount of celery left is

Amount left = 6 - 1.5

Amount left = 4.5 pounds

So 4.5 pounds is the amount of celery available to serve after it is trimmed.

The yield percentage of the celery is

Yield = (Amount left/initial amount)×100%

Yield = (4.5/6)×100%

Yield = 75%

Therefore, the yield percentage of the celery is 75%
