Children between the ages of 1 and 3 years old are recommended to take 700 mg of calcium per day. This amount would represent 100% of the daily intake of calcium per day for a child (i.e. if the child was to ingest 700 mg of calcium per day). In one typical day, your client who is a 2 year old toddler drinks two cups of milk (240 mL) and eats 2 cups of yogurt. Each cup of milk contains 30% of the daily calcium intake required by that toddler. Each yogurt cup is 60 mL and contains 15% of the daily calcium intake needed for that toddler. How much (in percentage) of his daily calcium intake did this child get for this day from the milk only (using both cups)? How much calcium in mg did this child consume for that whole day based on his consumption of both the milk and yogurt (all 4 cups combined)?
