2800 x 0.15 = 2380.
2800-15% = 2380

Mr. Anderson eats per day = 2800 calories.

Doctor has advised him to reduce his caloric intake by 15%.

We have to find his total calories intake per day by using two different ways.

First method is, We will find 15% of 2800 calories.

15% of 2800 calories =
(2800)((15)/(100))

=
((2800)(15))/(100)

=
(42000)/(100)

=
420 calories

Now Mr. Anderson's calories intake reduced by 420 calories.

So his daily caloric intake =
(2800 - 420) calories = 2380 calories.

Second method is,

Here given, calories intake reduced by 15%.

So, his caloric intake is
(100-15)% = 85%.

Now we have to find 85% of 2800 calories.

85% of 2800 =
(2800)((85)/(100))

=
((2800)(85))/(100)

=
(238000)/(100)

=
2380 calories

So we have got the required answer.

His daily caloric intake is 2380 calories.
