Question

A goal is to get at least 15% of daily calories from polyunsaturated fats found in various nuts, oils, and fish. 1 serving of walnuts (about 15 pieces) has about 21 grams of polyunsaturated fat. Each fat gram has 10 calories. On a 2,100-calorie diet, about what percent of daily calories does 1 serving of walnuts provide?

Answer 1

Using the percentage concept, it is found that 1 serving of walnuts provides 10% of daily calories.

What is a percentage?

The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:

$P = \frac{a}{b} \times 100\%$

In this problem, one serving has 21 grams, each with 10 calories, hence the number of calories is given by:

C = 21 x 10 = 210 calories.

Hence, out of a 2,100 calorie diet, the percentage is given by:

$P = \frac{210}{2100} \times 100\% = 10\%$
