If x servings of mini pretzels contain p percent of an adult's recommended daily value of sodium, which of the following expresses p in terms of x ?Choose 1 answer:(A) p=(1.13)x(B) p=310(0.13)x(C) p=13x(D) p=310(0.13x)
Q. The nutrition facts on a container of mini pretzels state that each serving of the mini pretzels contains 310 milligrams of sodium, which is 13% of the recommended daily value for adults. If x servings of mini pretzels contain p percent of an adult's recommended daily value of sodium, which of the following expresses p in terms of x ?Choose 1 answer:(A) p=(1.13)x(B) p=310(0.13)x(C) p=13x(D) p=310(0.13x)
Understanding the relationship: Understand the relationship between the number of servings and the percentage of daily value.Each serving of mini pretzels contains 310 milligrams of sodium, which is 13% of the recommended daily value. If x is the number of servings, then the total amount of sodium in x servings is 310 milligrams times x. The percentage of the recommended daily value for x servings will be 13% times x.
Writing the expression for p: Write the expression for p, the percentage of the recommended daily value in x servings.Since each serving is 13% of the daily value, x servings will be 13% of the daily value multiplied by x. Therefore, the expression for p is: p=13×x.
Matching the expression for p: Match the expression for p with the given options.The correct expression for p is p=13×x. This matches with option (C) p=13x.
