To find out how many more calories are in the larger box of cereal, we need to calculate the total calories for both box sizes and then find the difference.
1. **Calculating calories in the box with 12 servings**:
\[
\text{Calories in 12-serving box} = 90 \text{ calories/serving} \times 12 \text{ servings} = 1,080 \text{ calories}
\]
2. **Calculating calories in the box with 16 servings**:
\[
\text{Calories in 16-serving box} = 90 \text{ calories/serving} \times 16 \text{ servings} = 1,440 \text{ calories}
\]
3. **Finding the difference in calories**:
\[
\text{Difference} = \text{Calories in 16-serving box} - \text{Calories in 12-serving box} = 1,440 \text{ calories} - 1,080 \text{ calories} = 360 \text{ calories}
\]
Therefore, the larger box has **360 more calories** than the smaller box.
The answer is **360 calories**.
1. **Calculating calories in the box with 12 servings**:
\[
\text{Calories in 12-serving box} = 90 \text{ calories/serving} \times 12 \text{ servings} = 1,080 \text{ calories}
\]
2. **Calculating calories in the box with 16 servings**:
\[
\text{Calories in 16-serving box} = 90 \text{ calories/serving} \times 16 \text{ servings} = 1,440 \text{ calories}
\]
3. **Finding the difference in calories**:
\[
\text{Difference} = \text{Calories in 16-serving box} - \text{Calories in 12-serving box} = 1,440 \text{ calories} - 1,080 \text{ calories} = 360 \text{ calories}
\]
Therefore, the larger box has **360 more calories** than the smaller box.
The answer is **360 calories**.
