Mark prepared a fried egg, two pieces of toast, and a glass of orange

Question

juice for breakfast. The egg contained 85 calories, the toast contained
70 calories each, and the orange juice contained 90 calories. What
percentage of his U.S. RDA for calories did the meal provide if he
needs 2,600 calories per day?
a. 12.12%
b. 8.25%
c. 315%
d. 43%

Answer 1

First, we need to find the total number of calories in the meal:

85 (egg) + 70 (toast) + 70 (toast) + 90 (orange juice) = 315 calories

Next, we can calculate the percentage of Mark's daily caloric needs that this meal provides:

315 / 2600 * 100% ≈ 12.12%

Therefore, the answer is (a) 12.12%.
