Final answer:

The total number of non-protein calories provided by 2 liters of a 7% Aminosyn solution and 1 liter of 10% dextrose in water is 240 calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 liters of a 7% Aminosyn solution provides 140 calories of non-protein calories (2 liters x 0.07 x 20 calories per 100 ml). The 1 liter of 10% dextrose in water provides 100 calories of non-protein calories (1 liter x 0.10 x 10 calories per 100 ml). Therefore, the total number of non-protein calories provided by both solutions is 240 calories (140 calories + 100 calories).
