Answer

\(\boxed{40\%}\) is the percent of total calories from fat.

Steps

Step 1 :Identify the total calories and the calories from fat. From the table, we see that the total calories are 70 and the calories from fat are 28.

Step 2 :Divide the calories from fat by the total calories: \(\frac{28}{70} = 0.4\)

Step 3 :Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage: \(0.4 \times 100 = 40\%\)

Step 4 :\(\boxed{40\%}\) is the percent of total calories from fat.
