Question: 1 / 400

If a diet provides 36 grams of fat and a total of 1800 calories, what percentage of calories come from fat?

10%

15%

18%

To calculate the percentage of calories that come from fat in this diet, first, we need to know that 1 gram of fat provides 9 calories. So, if the diet provides 36 grams of fat, we can calculate the total calories from fat by multiplying the grams of fat by 9:

36 grams of fat * 9 calories/gram = 324 calories from fat

Next, we divide the total calories from fat by the total calories provided by the diet and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage:

(324 calories from fat / 1800 total calories) * 100 ≈ 18%

Therefore, the correct answer is C: 18% of the total calories come from fat in this diet.
