? mg 100%

Cross multiply (2,070 X 100) which equals 207,000

Then divide 207,000 by 86 which equals
2,406.976

Then you round so you get 2,407

The recommended amount of sodium is an illustration of proportions.

The recommended daily amount of sodium is: 2407 mg

Given that:

[tex]p = 86\%[/tex] --- the proportion

[tex]n = 2070mg[/tex] -- the amount of sodium

The recommended amount (N) is calculated as:

[tex]n = p \times N[/tex]

Make N the subject

[tex]N = \frac np[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]N = \frac{2070mg}{86\%}[/tex]

Express percentage as decimal

[tex]N = \frac{2070mg}{0.86}[/tex]

Divide

[tex]N = 2407mg[/tex]

Hence, the recommended daily amount of sodium is: 2407mg
