Answer: 2350 milligrams of sodium are recommended for the whole day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Quantity of sodium are recommended for the whole day.

As per given, we have

20% of x = 470 milligrams

⇒ 0.20x = 470 milligrams  [20%=0.20]

[tex]\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{470}{0.20}[/tex]  [Divide both sides by 0.20]

[tex]\Rightarrow\ x= 2350[/tex]

Hence, 2350 milligrams of sodium are recommended for the whole day.
