Answer 1

Jamie's candy bar, containing 110 fat calories out of a total of 250 calories, is comprised of 44% fat calories. This is calculated by dividing the fat calories by the total calories and then multiplying by 100. Option A is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate what percent of Jamie's candy bar was fat, we use the information that the candy bar contains 110 fat calories out of a total of 250 calories. To find the percentage, we divide the fat calories by the total calories and then multiply by 100.

Percentage of fat calories = (Fat Calories / Total Calories) × 100

= (110 / 250) × 100

= 0.44 × 100

= 44%

Therefore, 44% of Jamie's candy bar is fat calories. This aligns with choice A from the group of answer choices.
