The calories of whole bag is of 250 cal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

40% of the calories in a bag of chips is fat.

100 cal fat is there.

To find the calories of whole bag,

Let,

The whole bag contains x cal.

According to the problem,

x×40% = 100

or, x×[tex]\frac{40}{100}[/tex] = 100

or, x = [tex]\frac{100X100}{40}[/tex]

= 250 cal

Hence,

The calories of whole bag is of 250 cal.
