Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step 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 $\frac{30}{100}$×x = 660

30x= 660×100

x=660×$\frac{100}{30}$

x= $\frac{10}{3}$×660

x= 2200

solving the equation we get x= 2200

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