Question

A grilled chicken salad at a popular fast food restaurant contains 650mg of sodium, which is 27% of the recommended daily amount. What is the total recommended daily amount of sodium? Round to the nearest milligram.

Answer 1

To find the answer,we can set up an equation with an unkown:

Let the recommended daily amount be y mg

y×27% = 650
y×27/100 = 650
y = 650 ÷ 27/100
y = 650 × 100/27
y = 2407.407407...
y ≈ 2407

Therefore, the answer is 2407 mg.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

2407 mg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total recommended daily amount ( in mg )of the sodium,

According to the question,

27% of x = 650

$\frac{27x}{100}=650$

$27x=65000$

$\implies x=\frac{65000}{27}=2407.40740741\approx 2407$

Hence, the total recommended daily amount of the sodium is 2407 mg.
