Question

you need 389 stuffed green peppers. each green pepper weighs 7 ounces. if a case of green peppers weighs 10 kilograms, how many cases of green peppers should be ordered if the yeild percent is 82%

Expert Solution

Step 1

Weight of case of green pepper is 10 kg

The yield is 82%. therefore, the weight is 8.2 kg

Weight of 1 green pepper is 7 ounces, the weight of 389 green pepper will be $7 \times 389 = 2723$ ounces.

Convert ounces to kilograms

$1 o u n c e = 0.0283495 k g$

$2723 o u n c e s = 77.19575 k g$

8.2 kg of green pepper is received from 1 case

1 kg is received from $\frac{1}{8.2}$

$77.19575$ kg of green pepper is received from $\frac{1}{8.2} \times 77.19575 = 9.41411 \approx 10$
