Answer:

$\%Percent = 17.14\%$

Explanation:

Given

$Carbohydrate = 250\ g$

$Protein = 60\ g$

$Fat = 40\ g$

Required

Determine the percentage of protein

First, we need to calculate the total:

Total = Carbohydrate + Protein + Fats

$Total = 250\ g + 60\ g + 40\ g$

$Total = 350\ g$

Percentage of protein is calculated as thus:

$\%Percent = (Protein * 100\%)/(Total)$

$\%Percent = (60 * 100\%)/(350)$

$\%Percent = (6000\%)/(350)$

$\%Percent = 17.14\%$
