Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a Nutrition Facts label and need to find out how many grams of sodium are in one serving, based on the % Daily Value.
From the label:
- Sodium per serving = 470 mg
- % Daily Value for sodium = 20%
The footnote says:
“*Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet.”
That means 100% Daily Value for sodium is the amount recommended for a full day (based on 2,000 calories). We’re told that 470 mg is 20% of that daily value.
So, if 20% = 470 mg, then we can find 100% (the full daily value) by dividing 470 by 20 and multiplying by 100.
But wait — the question isn’t asking for the full daily value. Let me re-read…
Actually, looking again — the user didn’t ask a specific question! The image just shows the Nutrition Facts label. But since this is presented as a “task” to solve, and the only numerical data with percentages is sodium at 20%, perhaps the implied question is:
> What is the total daily recommended amount of sodium (in mg), based on this label?
Because that’s a common type of problem using nutrition labels.
Let’s assume that’s the task.
Step-by-step:
We know:
→ 20% of the daily sodium value = 470 mg
To find 100% (full daily value):
Divide 470 by 20 → that gives us 1% of the daily value.
470 ÷ 20 = 23.5
Then multiply by 100 to get 100%:
23.5 × 100 = 2350 mg
So, the full daily recommended sodium intake (based on this label) is 2350 mg.
Let’s double-check:
20% of 2350 = 0.20 × 2350 = 470 → matches the label. ✔️
Final Answer:
2350 mg
