Hi there!

No:

200 is only 6 parts of 1200 together which means that it can’t be 20% of 1200.

If it was 20% of 1200, it would then be 240 since 240·5=1200...

What this means:

No, did not reach the goal since 20% of 1,200 is 240 and 200 is only 16.67% of $1,200.

Answer:

No, you didn't

Explanation:

20% of $1200 is:

  • 0.2*$1200 = $240

Since you saved $200 and its less than $240 you didn't reach your goal
