Question

Which is lowest; Brand A: 240 mg sodium for 1/3 pickle or Brand B: 325 mg sodium for 1/2 pickle.

Answer 1

Brand A is. Just divide 100 (100% of a pickle) by each number, so 100 divided by 240 and 100 by 325. Then you multiply them by the fraction of 100, which 1/3 is 33.3% and 1/2 is 50%. It comes very close but A is the lowest.
