Question 372578: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control recommends that for a typical 2000-calorie daily diet, no more than 65 g of fat be consumed. In the first three days of a four-day vacation, Teresa consumed 55 g, 80 g, and 70 g of fat. Determine how many grams of fat Teresa can consume on the fourth day if she is to average no more than 65 g of fat per day.
Answer by ayalyaniv(6) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The average calorie consumption per day is found by adding the calories of all four days and dividing by four.
If teresa is to eat an average of 65g of fat per day, the total calories divided by four should equal 65.
Adding up and multiplying both sides by 4 we get 205+x=260.
Solve for x by subtracting 205 from both sides.
x=55
