What percent of the kilocalories in this food come from carbohydrate?

To calculate the percentage of kilocalories that come from carbohydrate in this food, you need to determine the number of kilocalories that come from carbohydrates and divide it by the total number of kilocalories in the food, then multiply by 100.

In this case, the food contains 25 grams of carbohydrates, and 1 gram of carbohydrate provides approximately 4 kilocalories. So, the number of kilocalories from carbohydrates is 25 grams * 4 kilocalories/gram = 100 kilocalories.

To find the percentage, divide the kilocalories from carbohydrates (100 kilocalories) by the total kilocalories in the food (200 kilocalories) and multiply by 100:

Percentage = (100 kilocalories / 200 kilocalories) * 100 = 50%

Therefore, 50% of the kilocalories in this food come from carbohydrates.
