To determine the percentage of the daily value of fat consumed when eating the entire bag of a food product, you need to know the total fat content of the product and the recommended daily value for fat intake.
The formula to calculate the percentage is:
Percent Daily Value=(Total Fat (g)Daily Value for Fat (g))×100
Percent Daily Value=(Daily Value for Fat (g)
Total Fat (g)
)×100
For example, if a food product has 20 grams of total fat and the recommended daily value for fat intake is 65 grams:
Percent Daily Value=(20 g65 g)×100≈30.77%
Percent Daily Value=(65g 20g)×100≈30.77%
So, if you eat the entire bag of this product, you would have consumed approximately 30.77% of the daily value of fat.
