Bud's cheeseburger and fries contained 1310 milligrams and 350 milligrams of sodium, respectively. Together they contained 66.4% of the recommended daily intake of sodium for diet. What is the daily recommended intake of sodium for a 2,000 calorie diet?

The recommended daily intake of sodium for a 2000 calorie diet is 2500 mg.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the daily intake of sodium we first need to calculate the mass of sodium present in both snacks, this is given by their sum.

We can now apply a rule of three for which the total sodium from the snacks is related to 66.4% in the same proportion as "x" mg, which is the value we want to know, is related to 100%. So we have:

The recommended daily intake of sodium for a 2000 calorie diet is 2500 mg.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
