Answer:

A. More than 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay lets break this word problem down.

Nancy eats 2,000 calories a day. She burns 500 during her workouts and 1,000 participating in her normal daily activities. How many more calories does she have to burn to lose weight?

Off the bat the question wants to know how much more she will have to burn to lose weight, so she will have to burn more than what is left over from her daily activity. The equation is as shown below:

2,000 - 500 - 1,000 = 2,000 - 1,500 = 500<

So, she will have to burn more than 500 calories in order to lose weight! Hope this helps!
