If a brisket loses 35% of its uncut weight during smoking, then the cooked brisket would be 65% of the original weight.
Let x be the weight of the uncooked brisket.
0.65x = 12.5
x = 12.5 / 0.65
x ≈ 19.2 lbs
Therefore, Jeremiah should start with a brisket that weighs approximately 19.2 pounds in order to have 12.5 pounds of cooked brisket.
Let x be the weight of the uncooked brisket.
0.65x = 12.5
x = 12.5 / 0.65
x ≈ 19.2 lbs
Therefore, Jeremiah should start with a brisket that weighs approximately 19.2 pounds in order to have 12.5 pounds of cooked brisket.

Let's double-check the calculation:
Uncut weight of brisket = x
Weight of cooked brisket = 12.5 lbs
During cooking, the brisket loses 35% of its uncut weight, so the cooked brisket is 65% of the uncut weight:
0.65x = 12.5
Solving for x:
x = 12.5 / 0.65
x ≈ 19.2 lbs
Therefore, Jeremiah should start with an uncooked brisket weighing approximately 19.2 pounds in order to have 12.5 pounds of cooked brisket.
Uncut weight of brisket = x
Weight of cooked brisket = 12.5 lbs
During cooking, the brisket loses 35% of its uncut weight, so the cooked brisket is 65% of the uncut weight:
0.65x = 12.5
Solving for x:
x = 12.5 / 0.65
x ≈ 19.2 lbs
Therefore, Jeremiah should start with an uncooked brisket weighing approximately 19.2 pounds in order to have 12.5 pounds of cooked brisket.
