How do I calculate the percent yield based on the limiting reactant in this bromination of trans-cinnamic acid reaction? (See attachments for further information)

0.149 g of trans-cinnamic acid was initial mass of the alkene

1.0 mL of glacial acetic acid (AcOH) was used

1.0 mL of Br2 was used

0.128 g of (2R, 3S)/(2S, 3R)-2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid was the final mas of the product
