Explanation / Answer
1 container has 1 cup of serving which includes 7 veggie chips.
These 7 veggie chips make up 150 calories;
As per the given information, daily 2.5 cups of vegetables are required all of which come from veggie chips;
so 2.5 servings are to be taken;
Calories in 2.5 servings = 2.5*150 = 375 calories
we have to find out what % of daily calorie requirement of 2000 calories do these 375 calories make up:
x % = 375/ 2000 * 100 = 375/20 = 18.75%
Thus, 18.75% of Frieda's daily claorie requirment would come from these chips
