Answer 1

The percent of vitamin C was in the juice Adriana drank yesterday = 135 %

Explanation:

One serving size = 1/2 cup

Each serving has 30% of the recommended daily amount of vitamin C.

Yesterday, Adriana drank 2 1/4 cups of juice

`2(1)/(4)` = 4.5 cups

The percent of vitamin C was in the juice Adriana drank yesterday = 4.5 (30%) = 135 %
