Final answer:
- 'The eighth graders have set a remarkable goal of $300, which exceeds our set goal by $75.'
- 'Our goal of $225 is ambitious, but the eighth graders are aiming even higher, with an additional $75 towards their fundraising efforts.'
Step-by-step explanation:
To compare the principal's goal of $225 to the eighth graders' fundraising goal, the principal could start by stating the amount that the eighth graders have set as their goal and then make a comparison. For instance, if the eighth graders' goal was $300, the principal might say:
- 'The eighth graders have set a remarkable goal of $300, which exceeds our set goal by $75.'
- 'Our goal of $225 is ambitious, but the eighth graders are aiming even higher, with an additional $75 towards their fundraising efforts.'
This not only provides a numerical comparison but also encourages a sense of healthy competition and ambition among the students.
