Question

The nutrition fact sheet at a fast food restaurant says a small portion of chicken nuggets has 195 calories, and 117 calories are from fat. What percent of the total calories is from fat

Answer 1

Step-by-step work:

195 calories is the total amount of calories in the chicken nuggets and 117 calories are from fat so you could write that as:

117/195

now remember that a “/“ also means divide, so divide the fraction:

117/195 = 0.6

0.6 is the decimal form of 117/195

then since percentages are out of 100, you multiply it by 100:

0.6 • 100 = 60

and 60% is your final answer!
