Answer to Question 1

The Percent Daily Value ( DV) is the percentage of the recommended intake (DV) of a nutrient provided by a single serving of a food. For example, if the DV for vitamin C is 60 mg/d and 1 serving of cereal provides 30 mg of vitamin C, the serving of cereal would have a  DV of 50.
