Ayden had a goal of finishing painting at least 80%, percent of the 500 square meters of a house's walls by today. He actually finished painting 415 square meters today. Did Ayden meet his goal? Why?

Yes Ayden painted 15 square meters more than his goal. That is the answer and your welcome

80% of 500 = 500(0.8)=400. Since 415>400, Ayden did meet his goal. Hope this helps!
