Reduced Fat Skippy peanut butter contains 12 g of fat per serving.
Reduced fat must have at least 25% less fat than the regular item.
Let reg = the fat content of the regular Skippy
If I subtract 25% of the regular fat content, I should get 12 or under grams of fat

Note that Reduced fat must have AT LEAST 25% less fat
Let's say it has 26% less fat

If reduced fat Skippy has 99% less fat, then

So, the regular Skippy could have anywhere from 16 to 1200 grams of fat per
serving
