Answer 1

Answer:

29.575%

Explanation:

Data provided:

Calories taken in daily diet = 2000

Recommended amount of fat = 65 grams

Average number of calories for fat = 9.1 calories / g

Thus,

Number of calories in the diet with average number of calories for fat

= Recommended amount of fat × Average number of calories for fat

= 65 × 9.1

= 591.5 calories

Therefore,

the percentage of calories in his diet supplied = ( 591.5 / 2000 ) × 100

= 29.575%
