Answer:

76%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three different types of macronutrients that provide calories (i.e., energy) to sustain life: fats, proteins and carbohydrates. All fats contain 9 calories per gram, whereas carbohydrates and proteins each contain 4 calories per gram. In this case, 11 grams of fats are equal to 99 calories, and therefore >>

130 calories ___ 100% calories

99 calories_____ X = (99 x 100) / 130 = 76.15% calories
