Answer:

920.48 Joules of energy

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard conversion from calories to joules is given as:

1 calories = 4.184 Joules

Therefore:

220 Calories =x Joules

Expressing it as a fraction


(1)/(220)= (4.184)/(x)\\$Cross Multiplying\\x=4.184*220\\x=920.48\: Joules

There are 920.48 Joules of energy in one serving of peanut M&M.
