Data Interpretation

To find the total fat consumed in grams:

  1. Calculate the total percentage contribution of all fats:

    Total fat %=Unsaturated fat+Saturated fat+Trans fat\text{Total fat \%} = \text{Unsaturated fat} + \text{Saturated fat} + \text{Trans fat}
    Total fat %=20%+20%+5%=45%\text{Total fat \%} = 20\% + 20\% + 5\% = 45\%
  2. Calculate the total energy obtained from fats in a 2,000 kcal diet:

    Energy from fat=45%×2000 kcal=0.45×2000=900 kcal\text{Energy from fat} = 45\% \times 2000\text{ kcal} = 0.45 \times 2000 = 900\text{ kcal}
  3. Convert energy into mass (grams): From the given table, all three types of fat have an energy density of 9 kcal/g9\text{ kcal/g}.

    Total fat (grams)=900 kcal9 kcal/g=100 g\text{Total fat (grams)} = \frac{900\text{ kcal}}{9\text{ kcal/g}} = 100\text{ g}

Hence, the correct option is (C).
