Explanation:

Step1: Identify total sodium limit and sodium in breakfast

The total daily sodium limit is 2300 mg and sodium in breakfast (cereal - bar) is 125 mg.

Step2: Calculate remaining sodium

Subtract sodium in breakfast from total limit. Let $x$ be the remaining sodium. Then $x=2300 - 125$.
$x = 2175$ mg. Since the daily intake should be less than 2300 mg, the amount of sodium for the rest of the day should be less than 2175 mg.

Answer:

2175
