Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

1 gram of fat provides 9 Calories, while 1 gram of carbohydrate or protein provides 4 Calories.

To find the percentage of Calories from fat in the pumpkin bread, we need to first calculate the total Calories in one slice:

5 grams of fat x 9 Calories/gram of fat = 45 Calories from fat
40 grams of carbohydrate x 4 Calories/gram of carbohydrate = 160 Calories from carbohydrate
5 grams of protein x 4 Calories/gram of protein = 20 Calories from protein

Total Calories = 45 + 160 + 20 = 225

So, the percentage of Calories from fat in the pumpkin bread is:

(45 Calories from fat ÷ 225 total Calories) x 100% = 20%

Therefore, the best choice is B, as 20% of the pumpkin bread's Calories come from fat.
