Answer 2

Answer:

2,407mg of sodium is the recommended daily amount

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cross multiplication you will get the answer.

1. make the problem as a fraction   $\frac{2070}{x} =\frac{86}{100}$  

2. Cross multiply (2070*100=86*x)

3. Simplify the equation left. 207000 = 86x

                                                 2407 ≈ x   (Divide both sides by 86)
