Question

Jo eats 2,200 calories per day. She eats 450 calories at breakfast and twice as many at lunch. If she eats three meals with no snacks, which meal will contain the most calories?

Answer 1

Lunch is 900 calories, dinner has 850 calories and then breakfast has 450 calories

Answer 2

Jo's lunch contains the most calories because if its twice breakfast and breakfast is 450 multiply that X2 you get 950. Then add 950 plus 450 you get 1400 then subtract 1400 from 2200 then you get the remaining 800 calories which shows that the most calories she eats is in her lunch meal.
