An individual suffering from a high cholesterol level in her blood has 232 mg of per 100 ml if the total volume is 5.2 L?
Given:Cholesterol level = 232 mg/100 ml
Total volume of blood = 5.2 L = 5200 ml
To find:
Total amount of cholesterol in the blood
1 ml of blood contains 232 mg of cholesterol
Therefore, 5200 ml of blood will contain (232 x 5200)/100 mg of cholesterol
Total amount of cholesterol = 120960 mg
Hence, the individual has 120960 mg of cholesterol in her 5.2 L of blood.
