To calculate the Percent Daily Value (PDV):
\[ PDV = \left( \frac{TC}{DV} \right) \times 100 \]
Where:
A percent daily value, or %DV for short, is a term used to describe the ratio, in terms of a percent, of the total amount of a nutrient someone has consumed with respect to the recommended daily amount.
| Nutrient | Daily Amount |
|---|---|
| Carbohydrates | 275g |
| Fat | 78g |
| Protein | 50g |
| Sodium | 2300mg |
| Sugars | 50g |
| Vitamin C | 90mg |
| Vitamin D | 20mcg |
| Vitamin B6 | 1.7mg |
| Zinc | 11mg |
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ PDV = \left( \frac{20}{50} \right) \times 100 = 40 \% \]
The Percent Daily Value is 40%.
