A fitness app calculates daily calorie requirements using the formula below.

Daily calories = Basal metabolic rate + Calorie burn rate per hour \( \times \) Hours of activity

The spreadsheet below has been used to calculate Jamal's daily calorie requirements when he has had 6 hours of activity.
  

  1. Write down the formula used in cell B9, using appropriate grid references.   (1 mark)

    --- 2 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) ---

  2. Jamal increases his hours of activity to 8 hours per day, while his basal metabolic rate and calorie burn rate remain the same.

    What will be Jamal's new daily calorie requirement?   (1 mark)

    --- 4 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) ---

a.    \(=\text{B4}+ \text{B5} \ ^* \ \text{B6}\)

b.    \(2770\ \text{calories}\)

Show Worked Solution

a.   \(=\text{B4}+ \text{B5} \ ^* \ \text{B6}\)

b.    \(\text{Daily calories}=1650+140\times 8=2770\)

\(\therefore\ \text{Jamal’s new daily calorie requirement is}\ 2770.\)
