If usable portion weight is 900 g and total raw weight is 1200 g, what is yield percentage?

If usable portion weight is 900 g and total raw weight is 1200 g, what is yield percentage?

• A. 60%
• B. 80%
• C. 75%
• D. 90%

Answer: (C)

Yield percentage measures how much of the raw weight remains usable. You find it by dividing the usable portion by the total raw weight and multiplying by 100. Here, 900 g usable from 1200 g raw is 900 ÷ 1200 = 0.75, which is 75%. So the yield is 75%, meaning three quarters of the original raw weight becomes usable product. For reference, 60% would be 720 g, 80% would be 960 g, and 90% would be 1080 g—none of these match 900 g, so 75% is correct.
