A female patient consumes one serving of a product containin

A female patient consumes one serving of a product containing 10% DV vitamin A. Calculate the percentage of her RDA. Round to the nearest whole number and do not include percent sign. Example: 72.3% would be written as 72 Vitamin A DV = 5000 IU 1 g = 3.33 IU Female RDA = 700

Solution

Answer:

DV = Daily Value. DVs were developed by the FDA to help consumers compare the nutrient contents of products within the context of a total diet. The DV for vitamin A is 5,000 IU.

We know that 3.33 IU = 1 g

So, 5000 IU = 1501.5 g

As per the question, the patient consumes a product containing 10% DV vitamin A.

So, 10% of 1501.5 = 150.15

As we also know that a female RDA (Recommended Daily Allowances) = 700 g

So the percentage of RDA = (150.15 / 700) x 100 = 21.45

Therefore the percentage of her RDA is 21
