Question

Dana has begun a diet and is keeping her caloric intake to 1800 calories per day. Before her diet she was averaging 4200 calories per day. What is her current percentage of the original caloric intake?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

% = what she takes in now / what she took in originally   *   100

what she takes in now = 1800

what she took in originally = 4200

% = 1800 / 4200   * 100

% = 0.4286 * 100

% = 42.86 %

This is a good example of a fraction of the total.
