If you're not adding anything with significant calories other than the pasta here's the simplest thing to do.

Each DRY cup of pasta has about 280 calories. For each DRY cup of pasta you can use 93 calories worth of mayonnaise.

Assuming each Tablespoon of your mayo has 3 grams of fat that means it has about 27 calories per tablespoon.

So for each DRY cup of pasta you can use about 3-1/2 Tablespoons of mayo.

Here's the math:

3-1/2 Tablespoons of your mayo has 94.5 calories.
One DRY cup of pasta has 280 calories.

Combine the two and you have 374.5 total calories.

Divide the 94.5 fat calories by the 374.5 total calories to get the percent of calories from fat:

94.5 / 374.5 = .2523 = 25%

HTH.
