carbohydrates. How many calories are
from carbohydrates?

Answer 1

L'Shonda purchased a container of juice. 80 calories are from carbohydrates.

Solution:

Given that, LShonda purchased a container of juice that contains 200 calories.

The label says that 40% of the calories are from carbohydrates.

We have to find how many calories are from carbohydrates?

Now, according to the given information,

Number of calories from carbohydrates = 40% of the total calories of the juice

Then, calories from carbohydrates = 40% of 200 calories

40% can be written in fraction as
`(40)/(100)`

`\text { Calories from carbohydrates }=(40)/(100) * 200=40 * 2=80 \text { calories }`

Hence, 80 calories are from carbohydrates.
