Answer:

According to label information, the maximum amount of sodium an average person should consume in a day is 2000 mg or 2 gr.

Explanation:

Packaged or canned foods are labeled with Nutrition Facts information, which includes the amount of nutrients they provide and the percentage that corresponds to the recommended daily intake.

In the case of the amount of sodium, the<u> label in the image indicates that the food has 560 mg, equivalent to 28% of the recommended daily intake</u>. This information implies that the maximum sodium intake of an average person should not exceed 2000 mg, or 2 gr, which can be calculated using the following reasoning:

If 560 mg corresponds to 28% of the recommended daily intake, how many mg would represent 100%?

560 mg ----------------- 28%

   X ---------------- 100%

X = (100% x 560 mg) / 28%

X = 56000 / 28 = 2000 mg

The maximum amount of sodium that a person should consume, according to the food label, is 2000 mg.
