Hello everyone today. We have the following problem. A 40 g serving of oatmeal contains 27 calories of which 20% is derived from fat, calculate your caloric intake from fat if you consume 100 g of oatmeal so to find the fat calories are the calories from fat. We want to start off with what we're given which was 100 g of our oatmeal. And then we want to multiply that by however many calories Which is 27 calories were given in a 40 g serving of that oatmeal. And then lastly we want to multiply by 20 And so it says 20% is derived from fat. So we can take our 20 cows from our fat And divide that by the 100 cows total And that's gonna represent our 20%. And when our units cancel out we will be left with 13. calories from fat. And with that we have answered our question overall. I hope this helped. And until next time.
