1 answer

To calculate the recommended daily number of calories, we divide the number of calories in the tin of soup by the percentage it represents of the recommended daily calories:

Recommended daily calories = (Calories in the tin of soup) / (Percentage)

Recommended daily calories = 166 calories / 8.3% = 166 calories / 0.083 = 1999.9999999999998 calories (rounded to the nearest calorie)

Therefore, the recommended daily number of calories is approximately 2000 calories.
