Answer(or question to Mentor): Sorry I didn't get to answer earlier. Here are the answers I got to the current problems. 1)16.5 percent is your answer. I got this answer because in the question it says that there are 14 grams of fat on the cheeseburger, and 9 calories in each gram of fat, so you multiply 14 by 9, and get 126. There are 36 grams of carbohydrates, and 4 calories per each gram, so you multiply 36 by 4, you get 144. There are 15 grams of protein, each gram of protein has 4 calories, so you multiply 15 by 4, and you get 60 calories. Added together, you get 330 calories. Then since the question has a 2000 calorie diet, you get the fraction 330/2000. This reduces to 33/200. Add that reduces to 16.5%.
2)40% roughly is the answer. I got this by taking the fraction of the number (126) and subtracting it from the actual number (330). Then dividing it by the actual number and multiplying it by 100. Concluding, your answer is 40% roughly.
