The table above gives the typical amounts of energy per gram, expressed in both food calories and kiljoules, of the three macronutrients in food. If the 180 food calories in a granola bar come entirely from $p$ grams of protein, $f$ grams of fat, and $c$ grams of carbohydrate, which of the following expresses $f$ in terms of $p$ and $c$?
Difficulty: Hard
A:
$f=20+\dfrac{4}{9}(p+c)$
B:
$f=20-\dfrac{4}{9}(p+c)$
C:
$f=20-\dfrac{4}{9}(p-c)$
D:
$f=20+\dfrac{9}{4}(p+c)$
