Answer 2

Answer:

17 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Onions have Edible Yield Percentage of 60%.

That means, 60 pounds of onions will be edible if you purchase 100 pounds of onions.

So,  1 pound of onions will be edible in the purchase of 100/60 pounds of onions.

Hence, 10 pounds of usable onions will be there in (100×10)/60=16.667 pounds of onion purchase.

Therefore, approximately 17 pounds of onions need to buy in order to get 10 pounds of usable onions. (Answer)
