The amount of fat in 550 grams of ice cream can be found by setting up a proportion based on the given information: $ \frac{13 \text{ grams of fat}}{100 \text{ grams of ice cream}} = \frac{x \text{ grams of fat}}{550 \text{ grams of ice cream}} $. Solving for $x$ gives $x = \frac{13 \times 550}{100} = 71.5$ grams of fat.
