Final answer:

Reggie's estimate of the total sodium content being about 320 mg is incorrect. The actual total sodium content from two packs of almond butter, each with 84 servings and 20 mg of sodium per serving, is 3,360 mg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reggie decides to buy two packs of almond butter, with each pack containing 84 servings, and each serving having 20 mg of sodium. To calculate the total sodium content, we would multiply the number of servings in a pack by the amount of sodium per serving, and then multiply that by the number of packs:

  • 84 servings/pack × 20 mg sodium/serving = 1,680 mg sodium/pack
  • 1,680 mg sodium/pack × 2 packs = 3,360 mg total sodium

Therefore, Reggie estimated the total sodium content as about 320 mg, which is incorrect. The actual total sodium content from the two packs of almond butter would be 3,360 mg.
