Question

Ayden had a goal of finishing painting at least 80%, percent of the 500 square meters of a house's walls by today. He actually finished painting 415 square meters today. Did Ayden meet his goal? Why?

Answer 1

80% of 500 = 500(0.8)=400. Since 415>400, Ayden did meet his goal. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Yes Ayden painted 15 square meters more than his goal. That is the answer and your welcome
