Answer 1

Answer: 18 per cent

Explanation:

Fat is one of the most important component of the daily food that we eat. It provides us energy and keeps the body warm.

As per the 2000 calories diet plan the daily requirement of fat is 65 grams that will provide 585 calories.

In response of these calories the intake of fat as per the question is 12 grams which comes out to be 108 calories.

Therefore, $\dfrac{108}{585}\times 100=18.4615\approx 18$.  108 is 18 per cent of 585 calories.

So, the correct answer is 18 per cent.

Answer 2

The answer is 15% since you need 44-78 grams of fat per day (based on a 2000 calorie diet).  12 is 15.3% of 78
