Question

If your target number of calories is 1700 per day to lose weight, but you are consuming 2500 calories per day. Then, your target is to consume what percent of the calories you are consuming?

Answer 1

Your answer should be approximately 78%

Answer 2

32%

Explanation:

We have been given that your target number of calories is 1700 per day to lose weight, but you are consuming 2500 calories per day.

First of all, we will find number of calories you should eat to lose weight by subtracting 1700 calories from 2500 calories.

`2500-1700=800`

Now, we will find 800 is what percent of 2500.

`(800)/(2500)* 100=0.32*100=32\%`

Therefore, your target should be consume 32% of the calories, you are consuming.
