1,300 grams of uncooked chicken must be used.
To calculate this, we first need to determine the weight of the uncooked chicken based on the weight of the cooked chicken. Since the cooked chicken is 90% of the weight of the uncooked chicken (100% - 10% water loss), we can set up the equation:
0.90x = 1,170
Solving for x (weight of uncooked chicken):
x = 1,170 / 0.90
x = 1,300
Therefore, 1,300 grams of uncooked chicken must be used to obtain 1,170 grams of cooked chicken.
during cooking, a chicken loses 10% of its weight due to water loss. in order to obtain 1,170 grams of cooked chicken, how many grams of uncooked chicken must be used?
