To find out how many grams of total fat Bud's French fries contained, you can use the information given:
1. The recommended daily allowance of total fat for a 2,000-calorie diet is 64 grams.
2. Bud's French fries contain 41% of this daily allowance.
To calculate the actual amount of total fat in the French fries, you can use the following formula:
\[
\text{Total fat in fries} = \text{Total fat allowance} \times \left(\frac{\text{Percentage}}{100}\right)
\]
Substituting in the known values:
\[
\text{Total fat in fries} = 64 \text{ grams} \times \left(\frac{41}{100}\right)
\]
Calculating this:
\[
\text{Total fat in fries} = 64 \times 0.41 = 26.24 \text{ grams}
\]
Therefore, the French fries contained **26.24 grams** of total fat.
