Could I Get A Proof Read Of This:

 

 

Dear, FDA

Do you really think you should ban “Energy Drinks” among teenagers? In recent years the sales of “energy drinks” have risen. Many parents are concerned about the amount of caffeine & sugar contained in the “energy drinks”. Parents believe that energy drinks causes heart related problems and also trigger hyperactive behavior thus affecting the level of concentration. In my opinion, these few concerns are not exceedingly significant to ban “energy drinks” among the young.

Energy drinks with caffeine are actually not as bad as they are made out to be. In fact energy drinks are found to have some health benefits. For instance, test subjects that were dosed with the amount caffeine included in a cup of coffee were found to be ahead on problem-solving task. In addition, caffeine-containing drinks is found to trigger the release of adrenaline, which helps the muscles work harder and longer. This could help many who play sports such as football, basketball, and soccer improve athletic performance. Caffeine also is found to reduce the risk of Parkinson’s disease, colon cancer, liver cancer and treat migraines. These are examples of how caffeine-containing drinks such as energy drinks can be useful.

If the FDA approves a law that bans the selling of energy drinks to teenagers a significant amount of money will be lost due to the fact that this population of people, accounts for the largest group who purchases energy drinks. Teenagers that buy them are usually ranged between the ages of 12-16 years. Most teenagers who consume energy drinks purchase it to boost energy level for sports. The FDA should think twice before passing a law that bans teens from buying energy drinks because the industry that produces these drinks will suffer dramatically.

I do not believe banning energy drinks is the way to go. A better approach to this, could be educating the teens about the drinks and the amount of caffeine recommended per day. As you can see energy drinks are actually not as bad as parents may think. It’s a fact that when you have caffeine it takes about 2 days for it to completely leave your system. We should educate our teens about limiting the amount of energy drinks to reduce the risk of adverse effects. I hope you trust my opinion and consider my reasoning for not banning energy drinks among teenagers.

 

Sincerely,

Derek Whaley

This weekend, I have to study for a Social Studies quiz on monday and It's relatively easy. I'm in Grade 9 but I'm still 13 but I'm gonna be 14 in less than 2 months. I had no school on Friday and did some homework on that day (so much for a day off) and I also finished a project so I'm set for the upcoming 2 weeks!! But I need some help with 1 question...

 

Our teacher gave us this to answer: 15% of ??? = 60

 

Tell me if this is right: 15% of 400 = 60...I just need to check with somebody (I didn't use a calculator!!)

Yes,you're right,creator93. I think you know and other too, but I want to say again:

to find out ?% of ???= for example,60, you must 60:?%*100

to find out f.ex. 15% of f.ex 400=??,you must 400:100*15

to find out ??? % of 400=60,you must 60:(400 : 100)

If I helped sbody,please.

If I said sthing that is obviously to you,sorry.
