Answer:

A maximum of 990 calories per day should come from simple sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Calories consumed per day = 2830

A nutritionist recommends that no more than 35% of those calories should come from simple sugars.

Let the number of calories come from sugar be x;

Hence,

[tex]x\leq 35\% \ of \ given \ calories[/tex]

[tex]x \leq \frac{35}{100}\times 2830\\\\x\leq 0.35\times 2830\\\\x\leq 990.5[/tex]

From above we can say that x should be less than or equal to 990.5 hence we can say x is 990 calories

Hence A maximum of 990 calories per day should come from simple sugar.
