13. To calculate the percentage of calories that come from fat in peanut butter, divide the calories from fat by the total calories and multiply by 100. In this case, (9 grams of fat * 9 calories per gram) / 115 total calories * 100 = approximately 70%. So, Option C: 70% of the calories come from fat.
14. Dehydration can result from conditions like diarrhea (Option B). Diarrhea can cause excessive fluid loss from the body, leading to dehydration if not managed properly.
