Question

An Olympic swimmer wants to eat 10,000 cal each day he eats 3142 cal at breakfast and 3269 cal at lunch how many more calories must the swimmer eat to reach his goal?

Answer 1

To reach a goal of 10,000 calories, after consuming 3,142 calories at breakfast and 3,269 calories at lunch, the Olympic swimmer must eat an additional 3,589 calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asks about an Olympic swimmer's daily calorie intake. Considering the swimmer has a goal to eat 10,000 calories each day and has already consumed 3,142 calories at breakfast and 3,269 calories at lunch, we need to calculate the remaining calories needed to meet the goal.

First, we add the calories consumed at breakfast and lunch:

1. Breakfast: 3,142 calories
2. Lunch: 3,269 calories

Then we add the two amounts together:

3,142 calories + 3,269 calories = 6,411 calories

Finally, we subtract the total calories consumed from the swimmer's daily goal:

10,000 calories - 6,411 calories = 3,589 calories

The Olympic swimmer must eat an additional 3,589 calories

to reach the daily goal of 10,000 calories.
