Question

Brett has consumed 1,400 calories so far today. He has also burned off 400 calories at the gym. He would like to keep his daily calorie total to 2,000 calories per day. How many calories does he have left to consume for the day? Is 1,200 a viable solution to this problem?

Yes; 1,200 is less than 1,400.
Yes; 1,200 is less than 2,000.
No; 1,200 is more than the 400 he burned off at the gym.
No; 1,200 will cause him to exceed 2,000.

Answer 1

No; 1,200 will cause him to exceed 2,000.

Explanation:

Given that Brett wants to stay within his daily calorie limit of 2,000 calories, and he has already consumed 1,400 calories and burned 400 calories at the gym, the maximum additional calories he can consume without exceeding his limit is:

2,000 (daily limit) - 1,400 (already consumed) - 400 (burned at the gym) = 1,000 calories

So, Brett can consume a maximum of 1000 more calories to stay within his daily limit of 2,000 calories. Therefore, 1,200 calories is not a viable solution because it exceeds his limit by 200 calories.

The correct answer is:

No; 1,200 will cause him to exceed 2,000 calories.

Hope this helps :))

Answer 2

Easy its D

Explanation:

remember he does not want to pass 2,000

1,400 - 400 = 1,000

1,000 + 1,200 = 2,200
