Answer: There is 60% of total calories is from fat.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of calories chicken nuggets contain = 190

Number of calories are from fat = 114

So, we need to find the percent of the total calories is from fat.

Percentage of the total calories is from fat is given by


\frac{\text{Number of calories are from fat}}{\text{Number of calories }}* 100\\\\=(114)/(190)* 100\\\\=(11400)/(190)\\\\=60\%

Hence, there is 60% of total calories is from fat.

the percent of total calories from fat is 60%

Step-by-step work:

190 calories is the total amount of calories in the chicken nuggets and 114 calories are from fat so you could write that as:

114/190

now remember that a “/“ also means divide, so divide the fraction:

114/190 = 0.6

0.6 is the decimal form of 114/190

then since percentages are out of 100, you multiply it by 100:

0.6 • 100 = 60

and 60% is your final answer!
