To calculate how many grams of uncooked chicken are needed to obtain 1,170 grams of cooked chicken, we need to account for the 10% weight loss during cooking.
Let x be the weight of uncooked chicken needed.
After cooking, the weight of the chicken will be 90% of x:
0.90x = 1,170 grams
x = 1,170 grams / 0.90
x = 1,300 grams
Therefore, 1,300 grams of uncooked chicken must be used to obtain 1,170 grams of cooked chicken.
During cooking, chicken losses 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?
