Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the problem. William eats a dozen cookies in one sitting. A dozen means 12 cookies. Each cookie contains 180 mg of sodium. We need to calculate the total sodium intake for 12 cookies.
Step 2: Write the formula to calculate the total sodium intake. The formula is: \( \text{Total Sodium} = \text{Number of Cookies} \times \text{Sodium per Cookie} \).
Step 3: Substitute the given values into the formula. Here, \( \text{Number of Cookies} = 12 \) and \( \text{Sodium per Cookie} = 180 \text{ mg} \).
Step 4: Perform the multiplication: \( 12 \times 180 \). This will give the total sodium intake in milligrams.
Step 5: Verify the result by checking if the calculated value matches one of the provided answer choices (1530 mg, 1800 mg, 8400 mg, 2160 mg).
