The average person should consume about 2000 calories in a day what percent of his total calories did buddy consume if he ate 1509 calories ?

About 75.45% (you can round to 75% if that's what the question asks.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 1509 by 2000 to see what percent 1509 is of 2000. The decimal that comes out of it is .7545, but since it is a percent, you move the decimal point over two to the right.

75% (75.45%)

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming Buddy's total calories are 2000 calories a day. The problem wants you to find what percentage of 2000 is 1509. You can do this by dividing 1509 by 2000.

1509 / 2000 = 0.7545

Make this number a percent by moving the decimal place to the right twice.

75.45

Buddy ate 75.45% of his total calories (or 75% if you round to nearest whole number).
