Huh. I'm stumped, when it should be common knowledge for me.

istim · Answer

7g=0.11 daily allowance.

istim · Answer

I guess we should figure out the total allowance first.

So, a percentage is the number of 100ths. So 11% = 11/100

So the serving contains 11:100 for fat content:RDA



If 7g is 11/100 then the RDA is 7 / (11/100) or 7*100/11 = 63.636 g

= 64g of fat
