Step 1 :The problem states that a 25-year old woman burns $350-60t$ calories per hour while walking on her treadmill. Her caloric intake from drinking Gatorade is $80t$ calories during the $t$ th hour. We are asked to find her net decrease in calories after walking for 3 hours.
Step 2 :The net decrease in calories is the difference between the calories burned and the calories consumed. The calories burned is given by the function $350-60t$ and the calories consumed is given by the function $80t$.
Step 3 :We need to integrate these functions over the interval from 0 to 3 hours to find the total calories burned and consumed. The total calories burned is $780$ and the total calories consumed is $360$.
Step 4 :Subtract the total calories consumed from the total calories burned to find the net decrease. The net decrease in calories is $780 - 360 = 420$.
Step 5 :Final Answer: The net decrease in calories after walking for 3 hours is \(\boxed{420}\).
