Answer:
The recommended daily intake of sodium for a 2000 calorie diet is 2500 mg.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to calculate the daily intake of sodium we first need to calculate the mass of sodium present in both snacks, this is given by their sum.
[tex]\text{total sodium} = 1310 + 350 = 1660 \text{ mg}[/tex]
We can now apply a rule of three for which the total sodium from the snacks is related to 66.4% in the same proportion as "x" mg, which is the value we want to know, is related to 100%. So we have:
[tex]\frac{1660}{x} \frac{mg}{mg} = \frac{66.4\%}{100\%}[/tex]
[tex]66.4*x = 1660*100\\x = \frac{166000}{66.4} = 2500 \text{ mg}[/tex]
The recommended daily intake of sodium for a 2000 calorie diet is 2500 mg.
Answer:
2,500 mg
1,310 + 350 = 1,660
1,660 is 66.4% of 2,500
