Question

Osvoldo has a goal of getting at least 30%, percent of his grams of carbohydrates each day from whole grains. Today, he ate 220 grams of carbohydrates, and 55 grams were from whole grains. Did Osvoldo meet his goal? Why?

Answer 1

So whenever you see %, it's like a *.01, so 30% turns into .3

Now take 55/220, .25

.3>.25, so he did NOTmeet his goal. To get decimal to percent multiply by 100. He wanted to meet a 30% goal and he only got 25%.

Answer 2

He ate 11 grams of whole grain less than his goal.
