Question

Frank an active 11 year old male, consume 660 calories during breakfast. This is 30 percent of the recommended number of calories for the day for him. What is the recommended number is calories for an active 11 year old male?

Answer 1

the recommended number of caories for a 11 year old male = 220.

Explanation:

it is given that frank consumes 660 calories during breakfast.

660 calories is the 30 percent of recommended calories for a day.

let the number of calories required for a day be x.

therefore 30 percent of x = 660

therefore
`(30)/(100)`×x = 660

30x= 660×100

x=660×
`(100)/(30)`

x=
`(10)/(3)`×660

x= 2200

solving the equation we get x= 2200

there the recommended number of caories for a 11 year old male = 220.
