Question

One serving of this cereal provides you with 160 mg of sodium. This is 7% of your body's daily needs. How many milligrams of sodium equal 100%?

Answer 1

First, we see the closest multiple of 7 under 100 is 98 and that divided by 7 is 14. there are 2/7 as our remainder. We do 2/7 times 160 to get 320/7 and 320/7 = 45 and 5/7. We convert 5/7 into a decimal like 5/7 = .7. The answer is 45.7 milligrams of sodium.
