Chapter 1, Problem 112c
A bag of Hershey's Kisses contains the following information: Serving size: 9 pieces = 41 g Calories per serving: 230 Total fat per serving: 13 g (c) How many Calories are in one Hershey's Kiss?
Verified step by step guidance1
Determine the number of Hershey's Kisses in one serving. According to the information provided, there are 9 pieces in one serving.
Identify the total number of calories in one serving. The bag states that there are 230 calories per serving.
Calculate the number of calories per individual Hershey's Kiss by dividing the total calories per serving by the number of pieces per serving.
Use the formula: \( \text{Calories per Kiss} = \frac{\text{Total Calories per Serving}}{\text{Number of Pieces per Serving}} \).
Substitute the values into the formula to find the calories in one Hershey's Kiss.
Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Caloric Content
Calories are a measure of energy provided by food. In this context, the total caloric content of a serving size is given, which allows us to determine the energy provided by individual pieces of candy. Understanding how to break down total calories into per-piece values is essential for nutritional analysis.

Unit Conversion
Unit conversion is the process of converting a quantity from one unit to another. In this scenario, it involves calculating the number of calories in one piece of candy by dividing the total calories in a serving by the number of pieces in that serving. This concept is fundamental in various scientific calculations, including those in chemistry and nutrition.
