Question

A meal consisting of a quarter pounder, large fries, and chocolate shake provides a total of 1,120 kcalories, of which 48 percent of the energy is from carbohydrate and 13 percent from protein. how many kcalories of fat does the meal contain?

Answer 1

To find the number of kcalories of fat in the meal, subtract the calories from carbohydrate and protein from the total calories. The meal contains 436.8 kcalories of fat.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of kcalories of fat in the meal, we need to subtract the calories from carbohydrate and protein from the total calories.

• Total calories = 1,120 kcal
• Calories from carbohydrate = 48% of total calories
  Calories from carbohydrate = 0.48 x 1,120 kcal = 537.6 kcal
• Calories from protein = 13% of total calories
  Calories from protein = 0.13 x 1,120 kcal = 145.6 kcal
• Calories from fat = Total calories - (Calories from carbohydrate + Calories from protein)
  Calories from fat = 1,120 kcal - (537.6 kcal + 145.6 kcal) = 436.8 kcal

Therefore, the meal contains 436.8 kcalories of fat.

Answer 2

Given, a meal consisting of a quarter pounder, large fries and chocolate shake which provides total 1,120 kcalories.

Given there 48% of the energy is from carbohydrates and 13% of the energy is from protein.

So the percentage of fat = (
`100- (48+13)`) % =
`(100 - 61)` % = 39%.

Now we have to find 39% of 1,120 kcalories.

39% of 1120 =
`(1120)((39)/(100))`

=
`((1120)(39))/(100)`

=
`(43680)/(100)`

=
`436.8`

So we have got the required answer here.

The meal contains 436.8 kcalories of fat.
