Calculate Micronutrients %DV
Calcium: The %DV for calcium listed on the label is 15%. If the RDI for calcium is 1000 mg, how much calcium (mg) does one serving of this food provide?
Calculate Micronutrients %DV
Calcium:15% = 0.150.15 x 1000 mg = 150 mg calcium
Calculate Micronutrients %DV
Iron: The %DV for iron listed on the label is 15%. If the RDI for calcium is 18 mg, how much iron (mg) does one serving of this food provide?
Calculate Micronutrients %DV
Iron:15% = 0.150.15 x 18 mg = 2.7 mg
If a 23 year old man requires 8 mg of iron/day, how much of his DRI does this provide for him?
Calculate Micronutrients %DV
Iron:(2.7 mg / 8 mg) x 100 =
33.8% of DRI for iron
Calculate Micronutrients %DV
Vitamin C: The %DV for vitamin C listed on the label is 40%. If the RDA for vitamin C is 75 mg for women, how much vitamin (mg) does one serving of this food provide?
Calculate Micronutrients %DV
Vitamin C:40% = 0.400.40 x 75 mg = 30 mg
