Question 181571: On a 14-day vacation, Glenn increased his caloric intake by 1500 calories per day. He also worked out more than usual by swimming 2 hrs. a day. Swimming burns 666 calories per hour, and a net gain of 3500 calories adds 1 lb of weight. Did Glenn gain at least 1 lb during his vacation?

total net intake per DAY was 1500-666(2)=168
:
total net intake for 14 days was:168(14)=2352 calories

since 2352<3500 then Glenn gained less than 1 pound since it takes a net gain of 3500 calories to gain 1 pound
