A Crispy Chicken Deluxe sandwich from McDonald's contains 500 calories, 43 grams of carbohydrate, 26 grams of protein and 25 grams of fat. What percentage of total calories come from FAT?

Answer 1

Ans:- Crispy Chicken deluxe sandwich contain total calories of 500. We know that protein and carbohydrate gives 4 calories per gram compared to FAT which produce 9 calories.

Step 1:- The total calories is given as 500.

Step 2:- As mentioned in the question the sandwich contain 25 gram of FAT.

Step 3:- 1 gram of FAT produce 9 calories.

Step 4:- So, 25 gram of FAT will produce (25 * 9) calories = 225 calories.

Thus, 25 gram of FAT will produce 225 calories.

Step 5:- total calories is 500 out of which 225 calories is contributed by FAT.

Step 6:- the percentage of calories contributed by FAT will be (225/500)* 100 = 0.45 * 100 = 45%.

Thus, the total percentage of calories coming from FAT is 45% in crispy chicken deluxe sandwich.
