you determine that 1 ounce of the peanut butter container contains 115 calories and 9 grams of fat. What percent of the calories come from fat?
To determine the percentage of calories that come from fat, you need to calculate the total number of fat calories and divide it by the total number of calories in one ounce of peanut butter. Here's how you can find the answer:
1. Start by finding the number of fat calories. Since each gram of fat provides 9 calories, multiply the 9 grams of fat by 9 calories per gram: 9 grams * 9 calories/gram = 81 calories.
2. The total number of calories in one ounce of peanut butter is given as 115 calories.
3. To find the percentage, divide the number of fat calories by the total number of calories and multiply by 100: (81 calories / 115 calories) * 100 ≈ 70.43%.
Therefore, approximately 70.43% of the total calories in one ounce of peanut butter come from fat.
