Question

Leena loves peanut butter. today, she ate four tablespoons of it. if there are 6 mg of vitamin e in four tablespoons of peanut butter, what percentage of the vitamin e rda did leena consume through peanut butter?

Answer 1

First, we need to know that the current recommended daily allowance of Vitamin E is 15 milligrams. If Leena ate four tablespoons of peanut butter, thus receiving only 6 milligrams, then we can determine the percentage by first dividing 100 into 15 parts (which gives us 6.66), and then multiply that answer by 6 (6 x 6.66), which gives us precisely 40. Thus, the answer is 40 percent.
