A new health drink has 150% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for a certain vitamin. The

RDA for this vitamin is 20 mg. How many milligrams of the vitamin are in the drink?
There are mg of the vitamin in the drink.

Answer 1

Convert 150% to a decimal by dividing by 100, = 1.5

Multiply 1.5 times the 20 mg = 30 mg in the drink.

150% is one and a half times a value.
