Explanation:

Question 1

Step1: Calculate calories from carbohydrate

Carbohydrate is 370 grams, and 1 gram of carbohydrate has 4 calories. So calories from carbohydrate = \( 370 \times 4 = 1480 \) calories.

Step2: Calculate percentage of calories from carbohydrate

Total calories are 3426. The percentage is \( \frac{1480}{3426} \times 100 \approx 43\% \) (rounded to the nearest whole number).

Step1: Calculate calories from protein

Protein is 131 grams, and 1 gram of protein has 4 calories. So calories from protein = \( 131 \times 4 = 524 \) calories.

Step2: Calculate percentage of calories from protein

Total calories are 3426. The percentage is \( \frac{524}{3426} \times 100 \approx 15\% \) (rounded to the nearest whole number).

Answer:

43% (corresponding to the option with 43%)
