Question

One serving of a certain brand of yogurt contains 12 G of fat the low-fat version contains 38.75% less fat per serving how many grams of fat does one serving the low-fat yogurt contains

Answer 1

The low fat version contains 7.35 grams of fat.

Explanation:

You have to consider that the content of fat in the regular version of the yogurt represents the 100 % of fat. Then you need to find the 38.75 %....

12 grams -------------- 100 %

x = ? --------------------- 38.75 %

So x = [(38.75 %) x 12 grams ] / 100 % ⇒ x = 4.65 grams.

Finally, you have to subtract 4.65 grams to the original 12 grams, to have the fat content in the low fat version. ⇒ 12 grams - 4.65 grams = 7.35 grams.

Summarizing, the low fat version has 7.35 grams of fat.
