multiply grams of saturated fat times 9
Well, enough so that the number of calories from saturated fat is less than or equal to 10 percent of your total calories consumed. How many calories are you consuming in day? Take 10 percent of that. That's the high end of the number of calories from saturated fat that you can consume in a day. Divide by the number of calories in a gram of fat (9), and you'll have the number of grams of saturated fat you can consume without exceeding 10 percent. Assuming you are on an 1800 calorie diet, you could consume up to 180 calories from saturated fat. Dividing this by 9, you would get 20 grams of saturated fat. However, it is probably more healthful to consume no more than 7% of calories as saturated fat, which is what is allowed on the American Heart Association's Step II diet. This would be 126 calories, or 14 grams of saturated fat a day.

I can't give you a specific number. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 7% of calories should come from saturated fat, so I'd guesstimate around 13-23% of your calories should be from unsaturated fat. It depends on the total percentage of fat in your diet.

Every product is different; 100% of the calories in margarine, butter, shortening, cooking oil come from fat. In each case, multiply each gram of fat by 9 calories/gm, then divide that number by total calories to find the percentage.
As a teenager you do not need to limit your intake of saturated fat. I would recommend at least 10% of your calories come from saturated fat.
The amount of recommended saturated fat intake depends on a person's calorie diet. If he consumes 2,000 calories a day, he should consume not more than 200 calories of saturated fat.
