Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the nutritional information, one breakfast sandwich contains 1190 mg of sodium and 210 mg of cholesterol. To find out how many sandwiches were eaten, we need to divide the total sodium intake (2825 mg) by the amount of sodium in one sandwich (1190 mg).

2825 mg ÷ 1190 mg per sandwich = 2.37 (rounded)

Therefore, the person ate about 2.37 sandwiches. Since they cannot eat a fraction of a sandwich, we need to round to the nearest option. Option B) is the closest choice, with 500 mg of cholesterol for 2.5 bagels. Therefore, the answer is:

Answer: B)
 500 mg 2.5 bagels
