The following problem is based on the "Nutrition Facts" found on the wrapper of an energy bar, assuming a 2000 calorie diet. The energy bar contains 100 mg of sodium, which constitutes 4% of the maximum recommended daily intake of sodium. The maximum recommended amount of sodium per day, based on this label is x10^ g.

Explanation / Answer

4% of maximum recommended amount of sodium per day = 100 mg = 100/1000 = 0.1 g

100% of maximum recommended amount of sodium per day = 100/4 x 0.1

= 2.5 g

= 2.5 x 10^0 g
