Answer 1

`2.5 xx 60 mg = 150mg`

Explanation:

Your body needs `60 mg` of vitamin c daily so that amount is `100%` of your daily requirement.

`Half` of the daily requirement would be `50%` of the `60mg`

If you were to double the daily amount required you would have `twice` as much or `200%` of what you need.

So if you add up the amount of vitamin c in the capsule you would have:

`50%` of 60mg `= 1/2` (or half of) `60mg` `= 30mg` PLUS
`200%` of 60mg `= 2` (or twice) `60mg = 120mg`

For a total of `30mg + 120mg = 150mg`

And this is the same as `two` and a `half` times the daily amount, or:

`2.5 xx 60mg = 150mg`

Note that the excess vitamin c will simply be flushed out of your body, so you may be able to find a less expensive dose in another capsule.
