Question

Answer 1

Hi there!

Since we know that the pancake mix has 5% of the daily allowance, which is 300 mg, we can just multiply 300 mg with 5 percent to get our answer.

First, let's divide 5% by 100% to know what we are going to multiply 300 mg with.

5% / 100% = 0.05

Let's multiply 300 mg with 0.05

0.05 * 300 = 15 mg

Thus, a 1/2 cup of pancake mix has 15 mg of cholesterol.

Have an awesome day! :)
