Solution

We are given that

John reads the food labels of everything he ate for one day and records the amount of carbohydrates, protein, and fat for each item

John ate three calories

total calories= carbohydrates +protein + fat

total calories = 405+95+80

total calories =580 gram

% Carbohydrate Calories:

% carbohydrates = (carbohydrates / total calories )*100

% carbohydrates = (405/580)*100

% carbohydrates=69.827%............Answer

% protein Calories:

% protein = (protein / total calories )*100

% protein = (95/580)*100

% protein=16.379%............Answer

% fat Calories:

% fat = (fat / total calories )*100

% fat = (80/580)*100

% fat=13.793%............Answer
