Answer
To determine if more than 90% of the serving is carbohydrates, we first need to calculate 90% of the total weight of the cereal serving. The total weight is 110g.
Calculate 90% of 110g:
90
Compare the amount of carbohydrates:
The amount of carbohydrates in the cereal is 99.4g.
Now, since:
99.4g (carbohydrates) > 99g (90% of total)
it follows that Emily is correct because the amount of carbohydrates is greater than 90% of the total serving.
