C) 19 percent

Answer 1

To find the percentage daily value based on a 2,900-calorie diet, calculate the percentage of calories represented by each scenario.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the percentage daily value based on a 2,900-calorie diet, we need to calculate the percentage of calories represented by the scenario. Let's go through each scenario:

1. Kai's burrito has 749 calories, so the percentage daily value would be (749/2900) x 100 = 25.83%, which is closest to 26% (Choice A).
2. Lou's candy bar has 276 calories, so the percentage daily value would be (276/2900) x 100 = 9.52%, which is closest to 10% (Choice C).
3. Patty's chicken dish has 652 calories, so the percentage daily value would be (652/2900) x 100 = 22.48%, which is closest to 22% (Choice B).

Therefore, the correct matches are:

• Scenario 1 - Choice A (26%)
• Scenario 2 - Choice C (22%)
• Scenario 3 - Choice B (22%)
