Ralphie's dad can eat 8 fruit bars without going over his calorie allotment.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Per day calorie intake limit = less than 2126 calories
Calories already taken = 1586 calories
Calories in each fruit bar = 66 calories
Let,
x be the number of fruit bars that Ralphie's dad can consume.
Calories in each fruit bar*Number of fruit bars + calories already taken < per day limit
[tex]66x+1586<2126\\66x<2126-1586\\66x<540[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 66
[tex]\frac{66x}{66}<\frac{540}{66}\\x<8.1[/tex]
Ralphie's dad can eat 8 fruit bars without going over his calorie allotment.
