Explanation:

1) Fat:

a. Multiply the grams of fat by 9* = (x) the number of fat calories. b. Divide (x) the number of fat calories by the total number of calories in the food

item = % fat content. * 1 gram of fat contains 9 calories (kcal)

2) Saturated Fat:

a. Multiply the grams of saturated fat by 9 = (xx) the number of saturated fat

calories in the food item. b. Divide (xx) the number of saturated fat calories in the food item by the total

number of calories in the food item = % of saturated fat.

3) Sugar:

a. Divide the number of grams of sugar by the total weight of the food in grams = %

of sugar. (Total sugar)

Answer 2

The calories of whole bag is of 250 cal.

Explanation:

Given,

40% of the calories in a bag of chips is fat.

100 cal fat is there.

To find the calories of whole bag,

Let,

The whole bag contains x cal.

According to the problem,

x×40% = 100

or, x×
`(40)/(100)` = 100

or, x =
`(100X100)/(40)`

= 250 cal

Hence,

The calories of whole bag is of 250 cal.
