Samuel consumed 2161 calories of food on​ Monday, 2378 calories on​ Tuesday, and 1841 calories on Wednesday. In order for​ Samuel's average calorie intake to equal a daily average of 2,200 ​calories, how many calories of food must he consume on​ Thursday?

Sagot :

Number of calories consumed on Monday = 2161
Number of Calories consumed on Tuesday = 2378
Number of Calories consumed on Wednesday = 1841
Daily average intake is 2200
Let calories intake on Thursday be X

Now ,

Average = sum of total calories/ number of calories

=> 2200 = 2161+2378+1841+X/4

=> 2200 x 4 = 6377 + X

=> 8800 = 6377 + X

=> X = 8800-6377

=> X = 2423

So Samuel must consume 2423 calories on Thursday
