Question

Your favorite candy bar, Gummy Beakers, contains 1.2 × 106 J of energy while your favorite soft drink, Bolt, contains 6.7 × 105 J. If you eat two packs of Gummy Beakers a day and drink 3 cans of Bolt, what percent of your 2000 Calorie daily food intake is left for broccoli, beans, beef, etc.? Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Answer:

There is no percent left for other foods

Explanation:

The total energy consumed was:

E = 2x1.2x10⁶ + 3x6.7x10⁵ =

E = 4.41x10⁶ J

Knowing that 1 cal = 4.184 J

1 cal --------- 4.184 J

y ---------------- 4.41x10⁶ J

By a simple direct three rule:

4.184y = 4.41x10⁶

y = 1.05x10⁶ cal

Which is higher than the 2000 calorie daily food intake, so there is no percent left for other foods.
