Answer 2

total calories consumed by John is 224 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

carbohydrate = 14 grams

alcohol = 24 grams

to find out

How many kilocalories did he consume

solution

we know that 1 gram carbohydrate contains = 4 calories

and 1 gram of pure alcohol contains = 7 calories

so here he consumed carbohydrates 14 grams so calories will be

calories by carbohydrates = 4 × 14 =

calories by carbohydrates = 56 calories

and

now we get calories obtained by alcohol is

calories obtained by alcohol = 7 × 24

calories obtained by alcohol = 168 calories

so total calories consumed by John is

total calories consumed = 56 + 168

total calories consumed by John is 224 calories
