One serving of cream of tomato soup contains 29% of the recommended daily value of sodium for a 2000 calorie diet. What is the recommended daily value of sodium in milligrams? Express the answer upto 2 decimal places.

Answer 1

Given, tomato soup contains 29% of the recommended daily value of sodium for a 2000 calorie diet

We need to find out recommended daily value of sodium in milligrams

⇒ Now, we know x% of `n = x/100 xx n`

∴ 29% of 2000 calories = `29/100 xx 2000`

= 580 mg
