<PRE><B>Question 485646</B>
20,000 calories, or 2,000 Calories? Also note there is a distinction between Calorie and calorie, a Calorie is the same as a kilocalorie, or 1000 calories.


Anyway, we have


*[tex \LARGE \frac{170 mg}{x mg} = 7% = \frac{7}{100}]


Multiplying both sides by x mg / 170 mg,


*[tex \LARGE 1 = \frac{7}{100} \frac{x mg}{170 mg}]


*[tex \LARGE \frac{100}{7} = \frac{x mg}{170 mg}], multiply both sides by 170 mg


*[tex \LARGE \frac{17000 mg}{7} = x mg \Rightarrow x \approx 2429]


Approximately 2429 mg of sodium is recommended.</PRE>
