Question

according to the label on a box of ice cream bars, each bar contains 300 calories, and 175 of those calories come from fat. what is the percentage of calories from fat for one bar?

Answer 1

`\Large\bold{SOLUTION}`

To find the percentage of calories from fat for one ice cream bar, we need to divide the number of fat calories by the total number of calories, and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

First, we know that each ice cream bar contains 300 calories, and 175 of those calories come from fat. So:

`\sf 175\: fat\: calories / 300\: total\: calories = 0.5833`

To convert this decimal to a percentage, we multiply by 100:

`\sf 0.5833 * 100 = 58.33\%`

Therefore, the percentage of calories from fat for one ice cream bar is 58.33%.

Answer 2

58.3%

Explanation:

Since 175 calories out of 300 come from fat, we can just do 175÷300 and multiply by 100 to get the percentage:

`(175)/(300) * 100 = 58.3\% \: (1dp)`
