Camryn Suarez · Answer 1

35.2 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 100% is considered anything's total, so consuming 56% means he has remaining:

100% - 56% = 44%

So, 44% of his fat per day can be consumed at night.

We need to figure out what is 44% of 80? First, 44% in decimal is:

44/100 = 0.44

Now we multiply this by 80 to get:

0.44 * 80 = 35.2 grams

He can have 35.2 grams of fat at dinner
