Answer: B. 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of calories in the sandwich = 460

Amount of saturated fat = 6 grams

Since there are 9 calories in 1 gram of fat .

So , Number of calories in 6 grams of fat = 6 x 9 = 54 calories

Now , the percentage of Calories from saturated fat in this choice:

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Calories due to fat}}{\text{Total calories in sandwich}}\times100\\\\ \dfrac{54}{460}\times100\\\\=11.739130434\approx12\%[/tex]

Hence, the percentage of Calories from saturated fat in this choice is 12%.

So , the correct option is B. 12%
