If the Nutrition Facts Panel on a food label indicates that a food has 24 grams of total carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber and 12 grams of sugar, what is the true amount of carbohydrates in this food?

a) This food contains 2 grams of fiber, 12 grams of sugars, and 10 grams of other unnamed carbohydrates, for a total of 24 grams.

b) The true total amount of carbohydrates is 36 grams: the 24 grams of carbohydrates PLUS the 12 grams of sugar.

c) The true total amount of carbohydrates is 38 grams: the 24 grams of carbohydrates PLUS the 2 grams of fiber PLUS 12 grams of sugar.

d) The true total amount of carbohydrates is 12 grams: the 24 grams of carbohydrates MINUS the 12 grams of sugar.

Can someone please explain this to me. I don't get it. Step by step would help please! Slight Smile
