Help With A Math/science Problem…..?

Charles ate a pizza containing 80 grams of fat @ 8 calories per gram. How many grams of fat is he allowed for the rest of the day without exceeding the recommended maximum daily energy intake from fat (35%) on a 2000 calorie/day diet?
Please help me, folks…. Thanks in advance!

    7.5 grams
    * you see now, you’re just making my forehead blush*
    7 point 5 grams. Charles better start eating some fruit. :)

    Figure the total calories from fat by multiplying 35% to 2000
    Figure calories already eaten by multiplying 80 grams by 8 calories.
    subtract the calories consumed from the total allowed calories
    Divide the remaining calories by 8 cal/gram to get back to remaining grams

    2000 – 640. I know that’s the operation.

    Sorry, but when it comes to math, I’m a lousy math student.
