What are the total kilojoules
Express your answer with the appropriate units

Answer 1

To calculate the total kilocalories (Calories) listed for a black cherry almond bar, we need to know the amount of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the bar. The given table provides the energy values for each food type in kcal/g:

Carbohydrate- 17 kcal/g
Fat- 38 kcal/g
Protein- 17 kcal/g

However, since we don't have the specific composition of the black cherry almond bar, we cannot calculate the total kilocalories.

To convert kilocalories to kilojoules, we need to multiply the kilocalories by 4.184, as 1 kilocalorie is equal to 4.184 kilojoules.
