A 28 pound turkey with a 41% waste factor will yield the following usable meat;
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Waste}=28\times\frac{41}{100} \\ \text{Waste}=\frac{1148}{100} \\ \text{Waste=11.48 lb} \end{gathered}[/tex]If the waste factor is now calculated as 11.48 lb, then the amount of usable meat is derived as;
Usable = Total amount - Waste
Usable = 28 - 11.48
Usable = 16.52 lb
Since we already know that one pound
