Question

A can of Mountain Dew has 46 grams of sugar with is 92% of a persons maximum daily value. What is the maximum grams of sugar a person should consume a day?

Answer 1

50 grams

Explanation:

Let t = maximum daily sugar value

From the question, we know that : 92% of the daily value is 46 grams

this equation can be formed

0.92 x t = 46 grams

to find t, divide both sides of the equation by 0.92

t =46/0.92= 50 grams
