A slice of carrot cake from The Cheesecake Factory contains 1,560 calories. This represents 75% of the average daily calorie requirement for many adults. Find the average daily calorie requirement for these adults.

Respuesta :

Using proportions, it is found that the average daily requirement for these adults is of 2080 calories.

--------------------

  • Percentage problems are solved by proportions, using a rule of three.
  • 1560 calories is 75% = 0.75 of the calorie requirement for many adults.
  • How much is 100% = 1?

The rule of three is:

1560 calories - 0.75

x calories - 1

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]0.75x = 1560[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{1560}{0.75}[/tex]

[tex]x = 2080[/tex]

The average daily requirement for these adults is of 2080 calories.
