Question

Jace has consumed 1,500 calories so far today. He has also burned off 400 calories at the gym. He would like to keep his daily calorie total to 1,900 calories per day. How many calories does he have left to consume for the day? Is 1,100 a viable solution to this problem?

===================================
Yes; 1,100 is less than 1,500.
No; 1,100 is more than the 400 he burned off at the gym.
No; 1,100 will cause him to exceed 1,900.
Yes; 1,100 is less than 1,900

Answer 1

No; 1,100 will cause him to exceed 1,900.

Explanation:

The rationale for this problem is basic.

Jace established a diet restricted to 1900kcal.

If he started 1500kcal and burned 400kcal in the gym, Jane's partial jump is 1100 calories.

Thus, it can still eat the total of 1900-100 = 800kcal.

Any value over 800kcal will exceed the tax threshold and will disrupt Jane's results.

Answer 2

No, it will cause him to exceed 1900.

Explanation:

1,500 - 400 = 1,100 (his total after the gym)

1,100 + 1,100 exceeds 1,900. He wants to keep his total below 1,900, so this is not a viable solution.
