Question

Your doctor told you to eat 25 grams of fiber each day. You had 4 grams of fiber for breakfast. What percent of the 25 grams of fiber have you eaten so far?

4%


6.25%


16%


84%

Answer 1

It is 16% because you have to divide 4 into 25 

Answer 2

we know that

`25\ grams` represent a
`100\%` percentage

so

by proportion

`(100)/(25) (\%)/(grams) =(x)/(4) (\%)/(grams) \\ \\25*x=4*100\\ \\x=4*100/25\\ \\x=16\%`

therefore

the answer is

`16\%`
