An average person should have no more than 60grams of fat in his or her daily diet. A certain package of chocolate chip is labeled "1 portion is 3 cookies and also fat:6 grams per portion". How many cookies may one eat before exceeding 50% of ones recommended fat intake?
To find out how many cookies can be eaten before exceeding 50% of the recommended fat intake, we need to calculate 50% of 60 grams, which is 30 grams.
Each portion of 3 cookies contains 6 grams of fat, which means each cookie contains 2 grams of fat (6 grams / 3 cookies).
To stay below 30 grams of fat, one can eat 15 cookies (30 grams / 2 grams per cookie) before exceeding 50% of the recommended fat intake.
