Question

Answer 1

Answer: 50 grams of fat

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that one serving of pretzels contains 1.5 grams of fat which is 3% of the daily amount recommended for a 2,000 calorie diet.

This means that we are expected to find the grams of fat for 100%. Since one serving of pretzels contains 1.5 grams of fat which is 3%, this means 1% will contain (1.5/3) = 0.5 grams of fat.

Therefore the grams of fat that are recommended will be:

= 100 × 0.5

= 50 grams of fat
