A 24-ounce mocha beverage with whipped cream has 25% of the calories allowed on a 2,000-calorie-per-day diet. What percentage of a 2,500-calorie-per-day diet would this same drink constitute?

The drink contains 25% of 2,000 calories: 0.25 × 2,000 = 500 calories. As a percentage of a 2,500-calorie diet, 500 ÷ 2,500 = 0.20, or 20%, so the answer is C, 20%.
