Question 1) Based on the weight of total fat or %DV of total fat please calculate the DRV for fat.
Total fat 16g 25% DV <- based on 2000kcal diet.

I said DRV = 16g x 100/25 = 64g <- DRV for fat. Is this correct?

Question2 Based on the %DV for calcium, what is the RDI for calcium?
calcium: 150mg, 15% dv

I said
15/100 x RDI = 150mg
RDI = 150 mg x 100/15
RDI = 1000mg

After calculating these two values... I think RDI and DRV seems to be calculated with same method.

Is this still correct? I just want to make sure if my answers and methods were correct
