Jone is on a diet that allows him to eat 2000 calories per day he wants to eat a peice of cake that 700 calories what percent of his daily total would that be

Hi! 

This problem seems to be asking us to solve a proportion. In order to do that, we need to cross multiply. 

All percentages are out of 100, so what we need to do is make  into a ratio out of 100 by cross multiplying.

 × 

First, multiply 700 by 100

700 × 100 = 70,000

Next, divide that 70,000 by 2,000 

70,000 ÷ 2,000 = 35

Final The slice of cake takes up 35% of Jone's daily calorie goal
