more / less than his goal.

Answer 1

Yes. Ayden painted more than his goal.

Expplanation:

To finish painting at least 80% of his house's 500 square meters walls today, he neededto paint 400 square meters (80x500/100=400).

However, since Ayden painted 415 square meters of his house's walls today, that means that he painted 83% of it (415x100/500=83). Thus, he painted more than he had intended.
