Answer 1

ANSWER

48 mg

EXPLANATION

We have that the health drink has 120% of the RDA for the vitamin.

We are given that the RDA for the vitamin is 40 mg.

We simply need to find 120% of 40 mg.

That is:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{120}{100}\cdot40 \\ =\text{ 48 mg} \end{gathered}$

There are 48 mg of that vitamin in the drink.
