A 4-oz. filet of salmon contains 500 mg of potassium. The daily recommended amount of potassium is 3,500 mg. If you ate a 6-oz. filet of salmon, what percent of your daily value did you eat of potassium?
The answer is 21% because a 6-oz fillet of salmon contains about 750 mg of potassium. 3500-750 equals 2750, meaning that whichever percent closest to that answer is correct. 3500 - 21% = 2760 which is the closest number to the correct percentage therefore A. Is the answer.
