How do you covert grams to percent? - Answers

You can't. Grams is a unit of measurement, where percent is a way of showing the portion of the whole, and therefore varies. For instance. if something weighs 100g, 10g is 10% of the thing, but if it weighs 1000g, then 100g is 10% of it's weight. If looking for percentage of daily recommended allowance, then you have to know the total recommended allowance for that thing, then you can divide the number of grams of that material in the item in question by the total recommended daily allowance. that will give you a decimal number less than 1. this decimal equivilant can then be multiplied by 100 to give you the percent value. For Example if the RDA is 1000g and the item has 200g in it, 1000 divided by 200 = .2. Multiply .2 times 100 and you get 20, which is the percentage of the RDA that that item has in it.
