Question

One serving of trail mix has 67 grams of carbohydrates, which is 22% of the recommended daily amount. What is the total recommended daily amount of carbohydrates? Round to the nearest gram.

Answer 1

The total carbohydrates that we should consume in a day corresponds to 305 grams

Explanation:

If 67 grams of carbohydrates correspond to 22%

The total grams that we should consume in one day corresponds to 100%

To find out how many grams correspond to 100% we apply a simple rule of three

`22\%\longrightarrow 67 g \\100\%\longrightarrow x \\x=((100)(67))/(22)\\x= 305 g`

The total carbohydrates that we should consume in a day corresponds to 305 grams

Answer 2

For this case we propose a rule of three:

67 grams -----------> 22%

x grams --------------> 100%

Where:

The variable "x" represents the recommended amount of daily carbohydrates.

So, we have:

`x = \frac {100 * 67} {22}\\x = 304.5455`

Rounding we have the recommended amount, in grams, of carbohydrates: 305 grams

Answer:

305 grams
