A jogger running at 12 mph burns approximately 12 Calories per minute. (a) Write a linear function for the number of Calories y burned by the jogger in terms of the number of minutes run x. (b) Use your function to find the number of Calories that the jogger has burned after jogging for 27 min. Calories

Suppose you are a fitness instructor and want to determine the number of calories a client burns during a workout. From exercise tables, you find that during the first part of the workout (aerobics) she will burn 220 calories. During the optional second part of the workout (swimming), she will burn 7.8 calories per minute. a. Write a linear model in slope-intercept form that gives the total number of calories $c$ that the client burns if she concludes a workout with $m$ minutes of swimming. b. Many fitness instructors recommend that a client burn 300 calories per exercise session to lose weight. How many minutes of swimming should the client perform to satisfy this requirement?
