What is the acceptability factor for meatloaf if 204 portions were prepared and 11 portions were leftover?

To find the acceptability factor for meatloaf, you need to calculate the number of portions that were accepted and then use that to find the percentage of portions that met acceptability standards.

In this scenario, you prepared 204 portions of meatloaf, and 11 portions were leftover. To determine how many portions were actually consumed, you subtract the leftovers from the total prepared portions:

204 (total portions) - 11 (leftover portions) = 193 (accepted portions).

Now, to calculate the acceptability factor as a percentage, you divide the accepted portions by the total prepared portions and then multiply by 100:

(193 accepted portions / 204 total portions) × 100 = approximately 94.6%.

It seems that either a misunderstanding of the question or a calculating error might have occurred in arriving at the answer of 79. The acceptability factors in the answer choices represent rounded percentages rather than a direct count.

Since 193 portions out of 204 yields an acceptability factor that is better represented by the closest correct choice, it's crucial to ensure that you clearly follow the mathematical calculation to arrive at the most accurate conclusion regarding acceptability. The answer of 79 appears to reflect a midpoint estimate, but the
