Answer 1

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

We can start by finding 9% of 1,500 pounds:

9/100 * 1,500 = 135 pounds

Therefore, Lukas could eat 135 pounds of added sugar in a year.

The correct answer is 135 lb.
