   WHICH SANDWICH IS BEST?

 

*  Lately, we have been discussing how to find the percentage of a number.

 

*  Over the next two days, you will have a few challenges to meet, to prove that you have successfully learned how to find the percentage of a number.  You will also compare two of Ms. Michaelson’s favorite restaurants to help her find out the healthiest place to eat.

 

Your job is to:

·       Visit the Recommended Daily Intake website to see how much of the following nutrients are recommended in a 2,000 calorie diet:

 

 
Calories

Cholesterol

Saturated Fat

                                Total Fat

Carbohydrates

Fiber

Protein

Sodium

 

·       Now, visit the Subway website and the Quiznos website. 

·       Pick two sandwiches of your choice from each of the menus.  (That is four sandwiches in all.)

·       Find the percentages of the Recommended Daily Intake for the nutrients listed above, for the sandwiches you have chosen.

·       Create a table in Microsoft Word displaying your sandwich choices and your percentages.

·       When you have finished doing this, write a brief summary of which restaurant Ms. Michaelson should eat at based on the notional information.  (You may recommend a sandwich if you wish.)

·       Finally, print out your table and summary, and place it in the completed assignments basket for a grade.
