Question

By eating her potato, is Barbara taking in less than 45%

of her daily Vitamin C, more than 50% of her daily
Vitamin C, or exactly 45% of her Vitamin C?

Answer 1

I’m thinking that it’s 30%

Answer 2

The correct answer is less tan 45 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Barbara is only eating one potato, then she is ingesting about 19.7 mg of vitamin C. The amount of vitamin C that an adult's body needs is between 65 to 90 mg daily.

If we make a percentage: 19.7 : 65 = 0.30.

Barbara has ingested only 30% of the daily vitamins C that the body needs. In order to cover the necessary amount, she would have to eat more than one potato.
