a 2,000 calorie per day diet. Find decimal and fractional notation for the percent
notation in each sentence.

(a) 1 ounce of Tostitos provides
9% of the MDV of fat.

(c) ½ cup of Campbells’ New England clam chowder provides 6% of the MDV of iron.

6%= 0.06= 6/100 did I do it right?

Yes. You did it right. However, your teacher may expect you to reduce 6/100 to 3/50.
