Calculating Total Cholesterol Level in Blood: A Step-by-Step Guide

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.
