    a) 25%

    b) 27.5 g

    c) 90%

    Explanation:

    a) 75% fat-free by weight means 25% of the weight is made by fat.

    b) 110 g ___ 100%

    x ___ 25%

    x = 27.5g

    Each hot dog has 27.5g of fat.

    c) 9 cal ___ 1 g fat

    y ___ 27.5 g fat

    y = 247.5 cal

    275 cal ___ 100%

    247.5 cal ___ z

    z = 90%

    90 % of the calories come from fat.
