If an old label said a serving of a product o f100% of the DV for
Vitamin C, how much Vitamins C would it have? (It has 60 Mg to

correct answer ✅Briefly, by knowing the first answer, the other
two are simply division.
If 100% is equal to 60 mg, then 50% (or 1/2) is 30 mg.
10% is calculated by 60 mg divided by 10% equals 6.
(I thought you can't divide by percent, but will have to change 10%
in 0.10, so the way to get the
correct answer if you do change it into 0.10, is multiple.
