a reduced fat cookie contains 3g of fat per serving. In order for food to be termed reduced fat it must have at least 20% less fat than the regular item. What can you conclude about how much fat is in a serving of the regular cookie? I really do appreciate all your help. Thank you.

a reduce at cookie contains 5 g of fat per serving. In order for food to be termed reduces fat it must have at least 20% less fat than regular items. what can you concluded about how much fat is in a serving size.
To determine the amount of fat in a serving of the regular cookie, we need to calculate 20% of the fat content in the reduced-fat cookie.
Step 1: Convert 20% to a decimal by dividing it by 100:
20% ÷ 100 = 0.20
Step 2: Calculate 20% of 3g by multiplying the reduced-fat cookie's fat content by 0.20:
3g × 0.20 = 0.6g
Step 3: Subtract the result from the reduced-fat cookie's fat content to find the maximum amount of fat in the regular cookie's serving:
3g - 0.6g = 2.4g
Therefore, we can conclude that a serving of the regular cookie contains a maximum of 2.4 grams of fat.
To determine how much fat is in a serving of the regular cookie, we need to find out what constitutes a 20% reduction in fat.
Let's start by calculating the 20% reduction of fat in the reduced-fat cookie. We know that the reduced-fat cookie contains 3g of fat per serving. To find out what the original amount of fat would be, we need to subtract the 20% reduction from the reduced-fat cookie's fat content.
The formula for calculating the 20% reduction is:
(20/100) * x
Where x is the original amount of fat in the regular cookie.
Let's calculate it:
(20/100) * x = 3
To solve this equation, we multiply 20/100 by x and set it equal to 3:
0.2x = 3
Now, we'll isolate x by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.2:
x = 3 / 0.2
x = 15
Therefore, we can conclude that a serving of the regular cookie contains 15 grams of fat.
