Question

Can someone help me with this? One serving of a certain brand of yogurt contains 11 g of fat. The low-fat version contains 35.25% less fat per serving. How many grams of fat does one serving the low-fat yogurt contain?

Answer 1

ANSWER:

7.1 grams

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

To calculate the amount of grams of the low-fat yogurt, we must subtract the amount in grams that represents 35.25%, just like this:

$\begin{gathered} c=11-11\cdot\frac{35.25}{100} \\ c=11-3.9 \\ c=7.1\text{ g} \end{gathered}$

Low-fat yogurt contains 7.1 grams of fat.
