Question

value: 1 a diet that contains 1,750 calories and 46 grams of fat contains what percentage of calories from fat?
○ a. 12%
○ b. 19%
○ c. 24%
○ d. 32%

Explanation:

Step1: Recall calories per gram of fat

Fat provides 9 calories per gram, so calculate calories from fat: $46 \text{ grams} \times 9 \text{ cal/gram} = 414 \text{ calories}$

Step2: Calculate percentage of calories from fat

Use the formula $\text{Percentage} = \frac{\text{Calories from fat}}{\text{Total calories}} \times 100\%$. Substitute values: $\frac{414}{1750} \times 100\% \approx 23.66\% \approx 24\%$

Answer:

c. 24%
