    sounds easy enough…….just do it

    A) (200 – A) x 60% = E

    B) (200 – 22) x 60% = (178) * 60% = 106.8 so E = 106.8

    A) E = .6 (200 – A)

    B) E= .6 (200 – A)
    .6 (200 – 22)
    .6 (178)

    E = 106.8 bpm

    Part A is a straightforward translation of the text into a formula:

    E = 60% of (200 – A) = 0.6 x (200 – A)

    If you want you can simplify this by expanding,

    E = 120 – 0.6 A

    For part B, substitute A = 22:

    E = 120 – 0.6 x 22 = 120 – 13.2 = 106.8

    A.) z=heart rate, y=age

    z=200-y x 60%

    B.)106.8

    e = (200-age)*.6
    e = (200-22) *.6
    e = 106

    A) E=(200-A) * .60
    B) E=(200-22) * .60
    E=178 * .60
    E=106.8

    The equation

    Exercise heart rate = (Heart rate minus age) times 60%

    E = (200 – 22) x 60%

    - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – — – - – - – - – -
    Exercise rate using the Formula

    first convert 60% to decimal

    60% = 60/100 = 0.6

    Percent to decimal: divide 60/100 equals 0.6

    E = (200-22)(0,6)

    subtract 200-22 = 178 in the formula

    E = (178)(0,6)

    E = 106.8

    The exercise heart rate is 106.8 beats

    the answer is 106.8

    I am a cardiologist and just to correct the teacher, the actual maximum predicted heart rate for a person is (MPHR) 220-age. so the number is 220 not 200. After that you can take whatever percentage you need. 85% is the maximum you need to achieve for the purpose of an exercise strees test, to check for ischemia. Cardio workouts aim at between 60 to 70 % (aprox)

    A)
    200 – age = 200 – A

    Exercise rate is 60% of (200 – A)

    E = .6(200 – A)

    B)
    E = .6(200 – 22) = .6(178) = 106.8 [beats/minute]

    ethel

    A) E=(200-A) x .60
    B) E=(200-22) x .60
    E=178 x .60
    E=106.8

    olivia

    r = 0.6(200 – a), where r = exercise heart rate and a = age of individual

    For a 22-year-old, r = 0.6(200 – 22) = 0.6*178 = 106.8

    I had always been told that maximum heart rate is 220 – a. That makes more sense, as a heart rate of 106.8 doesn’t seem like an aerobic heart rate. But for the data you provided, it is correct.
