To determine the percent of calories that come from fat in the peanut butter, you need to know the total number of calories in 1 ounce of peanut butter and the number of calories that come from fat.
Given that 1 ounce of peanut butter contains 115 calories and 9 grams of fat, you need to convert the grams of fat into calories.
Since fat has 9 calories per gram, you can multiply the grams of fat by 9 to find the number of calories from fat:
9 grams of fat * 9 calories per gram = 81 calories from fat
To find the percent of calories that come from fat, divide the calories from fat by the total calories and multiply by 100:
(81 calories from fat / 115 total calories) * 100 = 70.43...
Rounded to the nearest whole number, approximately 70 percent of the calories in 1 ounce of peanut butter come from fat.
Therefore, the correct option is C, 70.
