To find how many **milligrams **of sodium is in the can of iced tea, convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing 4 by 100 to get 0.04. Then, multiply 0.04 by the recommended daily allowance of 2500 milligrams to get 100 milligrams. So, the can of iced tea contains 100 milligrams of sodium. ;

The can of iced tea contains 100 milligrams of sodium, calculated by taking 4% of the recommended daily allowance of 2500 milligrams. This can be found by converting the percentage to a decimal and multiplying it by the RDA. Therefore, 4% of 2500 mg equals 100 mg of sodium in the iced tea.
