Question

A report from the Center for Science in the Public Interest—a consumer group based in Washington, DC—released a study listing calories of various ice cream treats sold by six of the largest ice cream companies. The worst treat tested by the group was1,910 total calories. People need roughly 3,100 to 3,400 calories per day. Using a daily average, how many additional calories should a person consume after eating ice cream?

Answer 1

a person should consume 1340 calories after eating ice cream

Explanation:

Given :

The worst treat tested by the group was 1,910 total calories.

People need roughly 3,100 to 3,400 calories per day.

To Find : Using a daily average, how many additional calories should a person consume after eating ice cream?

Solution:

People need roughly 3,100 to 3,400 calories per day.

So, Average =
`(3100+3400)/(2)`

Average =
`3250`

So, one should take 3250 calories daily

The worst treat tested by the group was 1,910 total calories.

So, additional calories should a person consume after eating ice cream :

= 3250-1910

= 1340

Hence a person should consume 1340 calories after eating ice cream
