    There are 116 calories in one serving of this product.

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Mass of carbohydrates = 15.00 grams

    Mass of proteins = 5.00 grams

    Mass of fat = 4.00 grams

    1 gram carbohydrates provides 4 calories (per gram)

    1 gram proteins provides 4 calories (per gram)

    1 gram fat provides 9 calories (per gram)

    Step 2: Calculate total calories for this product

    Total calories = 4 calories / gram * 15.00 grams + 4 calories/gram * 5.00 grams + 9 calories / gram * 4.00 grams

    Total calories = 60 + 20 + 36 = 116 calories

    There are 116 calories in one serving of this product.
