One serving of oatmeal provides 16% of the fiber you need daily. You must get the remaining 21 grams of fiber from other sources. How many grams of fiber should you consume daily?

fiber recommendations are 30 to 38 grams a day for men and 25 grams a day for women between 18 and 50 years old, and 21 grams a day if a woman is 51 and older.

daily = D
O = one serving
O = .16D
21g = (100-16)%D = 84%D
21g = .84D
21/.84 = D
D = 25g

Hope this helps.
