Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the maximum number of fat grams Sasha should eat, we need to follow these steps:

1. Convert the percentage of calories from fat to actual calories from fat:

30% of 1800 calories = 0.3 x 1800 = 540 calories

2. Convert calories from fat to grams of fat:

1 gram of fat has 9 calories

540 calories / 9 calories per gram = 60 grams of fat

Therefore, the maximum number of fat grams Sasha should eat is 60 grams, which corresponds to 30% of her total calories. The correct answer is C) 60 grams.
