10. Based on calorie consumption and expenditure, which person will most likely gain weight the slowest?

Question

A. Madeline takes in 2,500 calories a day, and uses 2,200 calories during the day.
B. Fernando takes in 2,550 calories a day, and uses 2,500 calories during the day.
C. Dahlia takes in 2,000 calories a day, and uses 1,900 calories during the day.
D. Wallace takes in 2,500 calories a day, and uses 2,000 calories during the day.

I'm really unsure about this question, please help?

Answer 1

To gain weight, one must use FEWER calories a day than one takes in.

Which ones do that?

Once you've decided that, then check to see which one uses up the fewest calories compared to how much he/she takes in. Subtraction and then comparison are required.

Answer 2

Madeline 300 left
Fernando 50 left
Dahlia 100 left
Wallace 500 left

So answer B Fernando?
