If oxidation of acetyl-CoA yields 10 ATPs per mole through the citric acid cycle, how many ATPs

Question:

If oxidation of acetyl-CoA yields 10 ATPs per mole through the citric acid cycle, how many ATPs will be derived from the complete metabolic oxidation of 1 mole of alanine in a mammal? Would the corresponding energy yield in a fish be higher or lower? Why? How much energy would be derived from the metabolic oxidation of 1 mole of iso-leucine to CO2, H2O, and NH3 of tyrosine?
