Can somebody help me with the solution to this problem?

Question

In order for exercise to be beneficial to the cardiovascular system, the heart rate (number of heart beats per minute) must exceed a value called the training heart rate, THR. A person’s THR can be calculated from their age and resting heart rate (pulse rate when first awakening) as follows:

 

(a) Calculate the maximum heart rate as 220 – age.

(b) Subtract the resting heart rate from the maximum heart rate.

(c) Multiply the result in step (b) by 60% and then add the resting heart rate.

 

 

Write a program to request a person’s age and resting heart rate as input and display their THR. (Test the program with an age of 20 and a resting heart rate of 70, and then determine your training heart rate.

Answer 1

If you can use Excel this is an easy one. Here is your formula. A2 represents the Age and B2 represents the resting heart rate.

 

=((220-A2)-B2)*0.6+B2
