Numerical

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

#### Solution

In a balanced diet of 2600 calories, 12 % is protein.
∴ Amount of protein in food intake = 12 % of 2600
$= \frac{12}{100} \times 2600$
$= 312$
Similarly, a balanced diet contains 25 % fats.
∴ Amount of fats in food intake = 25 % of 2600
$= \frac{25}{100} \times 2600$
$= 650$
Similarly, a balanced diet contains 63 % carbohydrates.
∴ Amount of carbohydrates in food intake = 63 % of 2600
$= \frac{63}{100} \times 2600$
$= 1638$
