Given the statement:
In a candy bar, 165 calories are from sugar. There are 250 calories in the candy bar.
Determine the percentage of calories from sugar.
Solution:
To determine the percentage of calories from sugar, we simply needed to divide 165 by 250.
= 165/250
=0.66
Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.
= (0.66)(100)
= 66%
Final answer:
= 66%
