Answer 1

Answer: 1300 or A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation: The answer above me is incorrect, I took the test and found his answer to be correct, all we need to do is find 10% of all the grams amounts listed as an answer, after calculating all of these the only reasonable answer would be 1300 because 10% of 1300 is 130, so then we subtract 130 from 1300 and we get 1,170 :) Please leave a 5-star rating and a like <3

Answer 2

The weight of the uncooked chicken is 1300 grams such that the uncooked chicken loses 10% of the total weight once cooked to lose water and the weight of the cooked chicken is 1170 grams.

Linear Equation

A linear equation with one variable is one in which only one variable is present. Mathematically, $Ax+B=C$ is a general form of a linear equation.

We will first draft the linear equation based on the given information and then, solve it accordingly to get the final result.

How do we solve the linear equations?

Let the weight of the uncooked chicken be $x\text{ grams}$.

According to the question, the uncooked chicken loses 10% of the total weight once cooked to lose water.

So, the weight of the cooked chicken will be $x-0.1x=0.9x$

It is given that the weight of the cooked chicken is $1170\text{ grams}$ so, we can write-

$0.9x=1170\\x=\dfrac{1170}{0.9}\\x=1300\text{ grams}$

Thus, the weight of the uncooked chicken is 1300 grams.
