If there a total of two servings in a product, and a patient is on an 1800 kcal diet and consumes the entire product, what percentage of kcals comes from fat (8g)?
-
(8)(9) = 72 / 1800 (100) = answer
-
(8)(4)(2) = 64 / 1800 (100) = answer
-
(8)(9)(2) = 144 / 1800 (100) = answer
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is (8)(9)(2) = 144 / 1800 (100) = answer. This calculation is used to determine the percentage of kcals that come from fat in the entire product. The equation (8)(9)(2) calculates the total kcals from fat, which is 144. Then, dividing 144 by the total kcals in the product (1800) gives the proportion of kcals that come from fat. Multiplying this proportion by 100 gives the percentage, which is the answer.
