Answer: 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, AP$ of Brisket = $4.72

Weight of each brisket on purchase : 10.4 lbs

Weight of each brisket after smoking : 6.24 lbs

Yield % of the briskets after Carol is done smoking them=[tex]\dfrac{\text{Weight after smoking}}{\text{Weight on purchase}}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{6.24}{10.4}\times100\\\\=60\%[/tex]

Hence, the yield % of the briskets after Carol is done smoking them = 60%
