Explanation:

Cole and Jamie are raising money for the annual Walk for Hunger in their city. They each have a goal to raise $250. So far, Cole has raised $150 and Jamie has raised $180.

What percent of their goal did each boy raise so far?

a) Percent of Cole's goal

= Amount raised by Cole/ Total amount × 100

= $150/$250 × 100

= 60%

b) Percent of Jamie's goal

Amount raised by Jamie / Total amount × 100

= $180/$250 × 100

= 72%
