The recommended daily amount of vitamin C for children 9 to 13 years old is 45 mg. A serving of a juice drink contains 60% of the recommended amount. How much vitamin C does the juice drink contain?

THE BEST ANSWER WOULD GET 20 POINTS

Answer 1

So basically, you have to find 60% of 45. You do this by multiplying 45 and 0.6. 0.6 because you have to move the decimal point twice. after multiplying, you would get an answer of 27 and the answer is 27 mg

Answer 2

The juice drink contains 27mg of vitamin C.

Explanation:

Since the recommended daily amount of vitamin C for children 9 to 13 years old is 45 mg, and a serving of a juice drink contains 60% of the recommended amount, in order to know how much vitamin C does it contain we have to do the following calculation:

45 / 100 x 60 = Vitamin C contained by the juice drink

0.45 x 60 = Vitamin C contained by the juice drink

27 = Vitamin C contained by the juice drink

The juice drink contains 27mg of vitamin C.
