Answer 2

Answer :

Recommended daily amount is 2900

Step-by-step explanation :

Given,

Amount of salt in cup of broth = 870 milligrams

According to question,

This amount is 30 % of the recommended daily amount

So,

Let the daily amount be ' x '

As we know,

' Percent ' or  ' % ' means ' out of 100 ', Therefore 30% can be written as  $\frac{30}{100}$

So, 30 % of x can be written as :

$\frac{30}{100}$ * x

Now,

30 % of x is 870

$\frac{30}{100}$ * x = 870

30x = 870 * 100

30x = 87000

Dividing both the sides by 30,

30x / 30 = 87000 / 30

x = 2900

Hence,

Recommended daily amount is 2900
