$2.5 xx 60 mg = 150mg$

Your body needs $60 mg$ of vitamin c daily so that amount is $100%$ of your daily requirement.

$Half$ of the daily requirement would be $50%$ of the $60mg$

If you were to double the daily amount required you would have $twice$ as much or $200%$ of what you need.

So if you add up the amount of vitamin c in the capsule you would have:

$50%$ of 60mg $= 1/2$ (or half of) $60mg$ $= 30mg$ PLUS
$200%$ of 60mg $= 2$ (or twice) $60mg = 120mg$

For a total of $30mg + 120mg = 150mg$

And this is the same as $two$ and a $half$ times the daily amount, or:

$2.5 xx 60mg = 150mg$

Note that the excess vitamin c will simply be flushed out of your body, so you may be able to find a less expensive dose in another capsule.
