Balanced diet should contain 12% of proteins, 25% of fats and 63% of carbohydrates. If a child needs 2600 calories in his food daily, find in calories the amount of each of these in his daily food intake.

$Amount of protein = 12 % of 2600$
$= (2600 \times \frac{12}{100}) = 312 cal$
$Amount of fat = 25 % of 2600$
$= (2600 \times \frac{25}{100}) = 650 cal$
$Amount of carbohydrate = 63 % of 2600$
$= (2600 \times \frac{63}{100}) = 1638 cal$

Amount of protein=12% of 2600 =2600×12100=312 cal Amount of fat=25% of 2600 =2600×25100=650 cal Amount of carbohydrate=63% of 2600 =2600×63100=1638 cal

$Amount of protein = 12 % of 2600$
$= (2600 \times \frac{12}{100}) = 312 cal$
$Amount of fat = 25 % of 2600$
$= (2600 \times \frac{25}{100}) = 650 cal$
$Amount of carbohydrate = 63 % of 2600$
$= (2600 \times \frac{63}{100}) = 1638 cal$
