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 5 grams were from whole grains.


Did Osvoldo meet his goal? Why?


yes/no Osvoldo ate (blank) grams of whole grains more/less than his goal.

To answer this you need to figure out what 30% of the total number of carbs need to be whole-grain. Multiply 0.3 times 220 to get 66 grams. He did not meet his goal. Because he only ate 5 g, this is 61 less than he needs to meet his goal.
