Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine the percent yield of each bag, we need to divide the number of kernels popped by the total number of kernels in each bag, then multiply by 100 to get a percentage.

For Bag 1: 
Percent yield = (654/1213) x 100 = 53.9%

For Bag 2: 
Percent yield = (343/690) x 100 = 49.7%

Therefore, Bag 1 has the highest popcorn yield with a percentage of 53.9%. The answer is B.
