Each serving of Planters Lightly salted peanuts contains 95 mg of sodium. This is 50% of the sodium content in each serving of planters. How many milligrams are in a serving of the dry roasted peanuts?
I am not sure where to start about solving this problem I need help.
That is the whole problem. I do not know how to start it either.
The problem says sodium content. I think its supposed to be in a decimal or a percentage.
Each serving of Planters Lightly Salted Peanuts contains 95 gm of sodium. This is 50% of the sodium content in each serving of Planters Dry Roasted Peanuts. How many milligrams of sodium are in a serving of the Dry Roasted Peanuts?
To solve this problem, let's start by setting up an equation.
Let's assume the sodium content in a serving of dry roasted peanuts is represented by the variable "x" mg.
According to the information given, each serving of Planters Lightly salted peanuts contains 95 mg of sodium, which is 50% of the sodium content in each serving of Planters.
So, we can set up the following equation:
0.5x = 95
To isolate "x", we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.5:
(0.5x) / 0.5 = 95 / 0.5
Simplifying:
x = 190
Therefore, a serving of dry roasted peanuts contains 190 mg of sodium.
