Question

Ayden had a goal of finishing painting at least

\[80\%\] 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?

Answer 1

Explanation:

otal Area to be painted = 500 square meters

Total Area Finished Painting = 415 square meters

Percentile Goal to achieve painting = 80%

We need to find whether he achieved his goal or not.

Area to be covered to achieve goal can be calculated by Percentile Goal to achieve painting multiplied by Total Area to be painted and then divide by 100.

framing in equation form we get;

Area to be covered to achieve goal = 400ft

Since Total Area which has been Finished in Painting is greater than Area to be covered to achieve goal.

Hence We can say Ayden has met his goal of painting house's walls.

Answer 2

Ayden did not meet his goal because he only finished painting 415 square meters, which is less than 80% of 500 square meters.
