To find the number of pounds of added sugar Lukas could eat in a year, we first need to find 9% of his total food intake.
To calculate this, we can use the following formula:
Added sugar intake = Total food intake * 0.09
Given that Lukas eats 1,500 pounds of food in a year, we can substitute this value into the formula:
Added sugar intake = 1,500 pounds * 0.09
Multiplying these values gives us:
Added sugar intake = 135 pounds
Therefore, Lukas could eat 135 pounds of added sugar in a year while keeping it at 9% of his total food intake.
To find the number of pounds of added sugar Lukas could eat in a year, we first need to calculate 9% of his total food intake.
9% of 1,500 pounds = (9/100)*1,500 = 135 pounds
Therefore, Lukas could eat 135 pounds of added sugar in a year.
