Answer 1

To find out how many milligrams of the vitamin are in the drink, we can calculate 150% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for the vitamin.

The RDA is given as 30 mg. To calculate 150% of this value, we can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Amount of vitamin} = \left( \frac{150}{100} \right) \times \text{RDA} \]

Substituting the RDA value:

\[ \text{Amount of vitamin} = 1.5 \times 30 \text{ mg} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ \text{Amount of vitamin} = 45 \text{ mg} \]

So, there are 45 mg of the vitamin in the drink.
