If an individual consumed three cups of tea, two cups of coffee and 1 energy drink per day, by how much does this exceed the weekly recommended allowance of caffeine? (assume that the weekly recommended allowance of caffeine is 1,400mg) (A) 765 mg (B) 777 mg (C) 787 mg (D) 797 mg (E) 807 mg Step 1 – Calculate the total daily caffeine intake of the individual by multiplying the number of drinks by their respective caffeine contents and then combining them to identify the total. Tea = 35 mg x 3 = 105 mg Coffee = 63 mg x 2 = 126 mg Energy drink = 80 mg x 1 = 80 mg 105 mg + 126 mg + 80 mg = 311 mg Step 2 – Calculate the weekly caffeine intake by multiplying the daily total by the number of days in a week (7). 311 mg x 7 = 2,177 mg Step 3 – Calculate the surplus caffeine intake by subtracting the total weekly caffeine intake from the recommended daily allowance of caffeine (1400 mg). 2,177 mg – 1,400 mg = 777 mg Thus the correct answer is (B) 777 mg [Show More]
