### Calculating Percent Yield in a Chemical Reaction

Product X has a theoretical yield of 4.8 grams (g). 

- Isolated product X was placed in a plastic sample tray.
- The tray is placed on a scale and has a mass of 1.2 g.
- When the synthesized Product X is added to the tray, the total mass increases to 4.8 g.

### Problem Statement:
What is the percent yield of the reaction?

### Provided Formula:
The formula for calculating percent yield, which is found on page 215 of the lab manual, is given below:

\[ \text{Percent Yield} = \left( \frac{\text{mass of compound recovered from reaction}}{\text{theoretical yield}} \right) \times 100 \]

### Instructions:
- Enter numbers 0 through 100
- No decimal places
- Do not add the "%" sign

### Application:
Subtract the mass of the tray from the total mass to find the mass of the synthesized Product X:

\[ \text{Mass of synthesized Product X} = (4.8 \text{ g}) - (1.2 \text{ g}) = 3.6 \text{ g} \]

Apply the values to the percent yield formula:

\[ \text{Percent Yield} = \left( \frac{3.6 \text{ g}}{4.8 \text{ g}} \right) \times 100 \]

Finalize the computation by inputting the percent yield:

\[ \text{Percent Yield} = \]
