Question

During cooking,a chicken loses 10% of its weight due to waterloss. in order to obtain 1,170 grams of cooked chicken , howmany grams of uncooked chicken must be used

Answer 1

Let x be the weight of the uncooked chicken needed.

After losing 10% of its weight during cooking, the cooked chicken will be 90% of the uncooked chicken.
Therefore, 0.90x = 1,170

Solving for x:
x = 1,170 / 0.90
x = 1,300

So, 1,300 grams of uncooked chicken must be used to obtain 1,170 grams of cooked chicken.
