Answer:

a) Given expression,

12% of 312

Since 100% of 312 = 312

⇒ 10% of 312 = 31.2,

⇒ 1% = 3.12

⇒ 2% = 2 × 3.12 = 6.24

So, 12% of 312 = 10% of 312 + 2% of 312

= 31.2 + 6.24

= 37.44

b) Given,

Total number of servings = 312,

The percentage of vitamin C in each serving = 12%,

Thus, the total amount of the vitamin C in 312 servings = 12% of 312


=(12* 312)/(100)


=(3744)/(100)

= 37.44,

Hence, the question can be asked about the total amount of the vitamin C.
