Question

Jone is on a diet that allows him to eat 2,000 calories per day. He wants to eat a piece of cake that's 700 calories. What percent of his daily total would that be?

p.s this is a word problem

Answer 1

Answer: 35%

Explanation:

Given: The total calories Jone is allowed to eat according to diet = 2000 calories per day.

If he wants to eat a piece of cake that's 700 calories.

Then, the percent of calories in piece of cake of his daily total calories will be given by :-

`(700)/(2000)*100\\\\=7*5=35\%`

Hence, the percent of calories in piece of cake of his daily total calories= 35%

Answer 2

divide the calories of the cake by total calories allowed:

700 / 2000 = 0.35 = 35%
