How much of the gross mass of a 30 mg orforglipron vial is actually peptide?

What I have: 30 mg · orforglipron.

I can do the algebra. I am not confident about the conversion factors.

If there is a standard way to lay this out, I would rather learn that than invent one.

Can someone show the working rather than just the answer?
