At the beginning of the school year, a chalk company receives an order for 2000 boxes which is the largest order ever placed. Each box contains 175 grams of chalk. With the efficiency of their product production at 74%, they produce just enough to match the order. What was the theoretical yield?

The theoretical yield of chalk is 472,973 g

The percentage efficiency is the ratio of the actual to the theoretical yield multiplied by 100

From the question, we can see that each box of chalk contains 175 grams of chalk and we have about 2000 of such boxes.

The efficiency have been rated at 74%.

Actual yield of the chalk = 2000 * 175 = 350,000 grams

efficiency = actual yield/theoretical yield * 100/1

theoretical yield = actual yield * 100/efficiency

theoretical yield = 350,000 * 100/74

theoretical yield = 472,973 g
