Given:
An energy drink contains 60% of the recommended daily amount of carbohydrates.
It contains 180 grams of carbohydrates.
To find:
The recommended daily amount of carbohydrates.
Solution:
Let x be the recommended daily amount of carbohydrates.
It contains 180 grams of carbohydrates.
So, according to the question,
60% of x = 180
[tex]\dfrac{60}{100}x=180[/tex]
[tex]0.6x=180[/tex]
Divide both sides by 0.6.
[tex]x=\dfrac{180}{0.6}[/tex]
[tex]x=300[/tex]
Therefore, the recommended daily amount of carbohydrates is 300 grams.
