Question

Some doctors recommend that no more than 30% of a person's daily calories come from fats. Following this recommendation, if you eat 2,400 calories in a day, what is the maximum number that should come from fats?

I can figure the answer out all by myself, I would just like an example of how the equation for solving the problem would be set up on paper.

Thanks

Answer 1

0.3 * 2,400 = ?

Answer 2

0.3 is 3/10 though, right?

Answer 3

So you JUST multiply the 30% by the 2,400? Okay thank you!

Answer 4

So I tried multiplying 0.3 because i later remembered that 10x10=100 and 3x10=30% so I multiplied and my answer was 720. Is this correct?

Answer 5

:-) Yes. 720 is correct.

Answer 6

0.3 x 2400 = 720. right.
