Work Step by Step

Based on her statement, we know the following $Lunch=\frac{1}{2}*Breakfast$ $Dinner=200+Breakfast$ $Snacks=Breakfast-120$ Based on the equation that $net= total - burnt$ $1480=Breakfast+Lunch+Dinner+Snack-700$ We can then substitute Breakfast for $Snacks+120$ Lunch for $\frac{1}{2}*(Snacks+120)$ Dinner for $Snacks+320$ So the new equation is $1480=Snacks+120+\frac{1}{2}Snacks+60+Snacks+320+Snacks-700$ Then $1480=3.5*Snacks-200$ Solving for snacks we get 480 calories were consumed
