1. **State the problem:** Caleb wants to find what percent of the total calories in a muffin comes from fat.
2. **Formula:** To find the percentage of calories from fat, use the formula:
$$\text{Percentage from fat} = \left(\frac{\text{Calories from fat}}{\text{Total calories}}\right) \times 100$$
3. **Substitute the values:**
$$\text{Percentage from fat} = \left(\frac{30}{200}\right) \times 100$$
4. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$\frac{30}{200} = \frac{\cancel{30}}{\cancel{200}} = \frac{3}{20}$$
5. **Calculate the percentage:**
$$\frac{3}{20} \times 100 = 3 \times 5 = 15$$
6. **Answer:** 15% of the total calories in a muffin come from fat.
Rounded to the nearest whole percent, the answer is **15%**.
