Answer: Yes,
15\ m^2

Explanation:

Given

The surface area of the house
A=500\ m^2

Ayden aims to finish 80% of the painting

The actual painting done by him is
A_c=415\ m^2

Now 80% of the total is


\Rightarrow A'=500* (80)/(100)=400\ m^2

Clearly, actual painting done is more than 80% of the painting


\therefore Ayden meet his goal


\Rightarrow A_c-A'=415-400=15\ m^2

He painted
15\ m^2 more than his target
