844.5

1.80×2815=844.5

Answer 2

844.5 calories.

Explanation:

If a physically active adult weighing 170 pounds needs to consume about 2815 calories per day in order to maintain his or her weight, and a nutritionist recommends that no more than 30% of those calories should come from simple sugars, the maximum number of calories per day that should come from simple sugars is:

2815 calories * 30% = <<281530.01=844.5>>844.5 calories

So, the maximum number of calories per day that should come from simple sugars is 844.5 calories.
