2,800

Answer 1

1840, (answer of all of them added up)

Answer 2

Option A. 1840

Explanation:

The app recorded as positive calories when someone eats and it is recorded as negative calories when someone exercise.

To calculate the number of net calories for a person we add all the calories

that he ate and then subtract all the calories that he worked out.

Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner = 560 + 770 + 990 = 2320

Bike + walk + ping-pong = 270 + 80 + 130 = 480

Now subtract the exercise from eaten calories

2320 - 480 = 1,840

Option A. 1840 is the answer.
