Final answer:

Hope exercised for 66 minutes out of a goal of 75 minutes, which means she achieved 88% of her fitness goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student, Hope, set a goal to exercise for 75 minutes but achieved 66 minutes of fitness. To find out what percent of the goal she achieved, we calculate the ratio of the minutes she exercised to the goal minutes, and then convert that ratio to a percentage.

The calculation is as follows:

  1. Divide the number of minutes Hope exercised by the goal: 66 minutes ÷ 75 minutes.
  2. The result is a decimal which represents the proportion of the goal achieved: 0.88.
  3. To find the percentage, multiply the decimal by 100: 0.88 × 100 = 88%.

Therefore, Hope has achieved 88% of her fitness goal.
