Answer(or question to Mentor): The answer to the problem is
1. 16.5% of her daily intake
2. About 21.5% of the cheeseburger or 14/65
I got the answer to the first problem by multiplying the grams of fat by 9. I multiplied it by 9 because there are 9 calories in each gram of fat. I then multiplied the number of carbohydrates by 4. I multiplied by 4 because there are 4 calories in each carbohydrate. I then multiplied the number of protein by 4. I multiplied by 4 because there are 4 calories in each protein. I then got the total of all of the numbers to find out how many total calories there is. I then divided 330 by 2,000. I did this because I wanted to find the percent.
I got the answer to the second problem by adding all of the amounts together. I did this because I needed to find the total. I then divided the total by 14. I did this because I needed to find a percent of the total.
