Question

According to a nutrition coach, a 100 kg person should eat

0.07 kg of protein. What percent of a person's body weight should they eat
in protein? (round to 2 decimal places) *

Answer 1

0.07%

Explanation:

This equation is solving for what percentage of 100 kg is 0.07 kg.

1. Set up the equation

`(0.07)/(100)` =
`(x)/(100)`

0.07 kg out of 100 kg is equal to x out of 100 because x represents the percentage and percentages are out of 100.

2. Solve by cross multiplying

100x = 7

3. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 100

x = 0.07

The answer is 0.07%
