Answer:

About 2750 milligrams

Explanation:

You said that one fruit snack had 55 milligrams of sodium and that was about 2% of the recommended daily amount for an adult. If it was about 2% then in order the find about how many milligrams of sodium is recommended daily for an adult you would multiply 55 by 50. 55 stands for how many milligrams and 50 is basically how many times you would need to have 2% in order to get to 100%. 55 * 50 would equal 2750 and if the unit we were using is milligrams then that would be 2650 milligrams. Though you did say 55 milligrams of sodium was about 2% of the recommended daily amount for and adult so you would say about or approximately instead of just saying the number.
