Question

When meat cooks, its weight increases by approximately 26%. Justin cooks a boneless
chicken thigh that is 10 oz before cooking. Predict its weight after being cooked.

Answer 1

Weight after being cooked is 12.6 oz

Solution:

Given that,

When meat cooks, its weight increases by approximately 26%

Justin cooks a boneless  chicken thigh that is 10 oz before cooking

To find: Predict its weight after being cooked

Therefore,

Weight after cooked = 10 + 26 % of 10

$Weight\ after\ cooked = 10 + \frac{26}{100} \times 10\\\\Weight\ after\ cooked = 10 + 0.26 \times 10\\\\Weight\ after\ cooked = 10 + 2.6\\\\Weight\ after\ cooked = 12.6$

Thus weight after being cooked is 12.6 oz
