Fat is made up of 9 calories.
You take the amount of fat calories in the item and multiply it by 9.
Then you divide the number of calories by that number.
Example:
Bag of chips: 1000 calories
Calories coming from Fat: 400 calories
400 x 9 = 3600
1000 / 3600 = 27.7% fat
Butter should come up as almost 100% fat anyhow.

To get 100% of the fat ....eat it.. If you cook with it some will be lost!
