Lukas eats 1,500 pounds of food in a year. He wants to keep his added sugars down to 9% of his total intake. Find the number of pounds of added sugar he could eat in a year at that rate.

Answer 1

To find the number of pounds of added sugar Lukas could eat in a year, we need to find 9% of his total food intake.

9% of 1,500 pounds = (9/100) * 1,500 pounds = 0.09 * 1,500 pounds = 135 pounds.

Therefore, Lukas could eat 135 pounds of added sugar in a year at a 9% rate.
