Answer 1

Ayden met his goal of painting at least 80% of 500 square meters of a house's walls.

Explanation:

So, he painted 15 more than what he needed to because 80% of 500 is 400 and he painted 415 square meters.

Answer 2

Ayden met his goal of painting atleast 80% of 500 square meters of a house's walls.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Area of house wall to be painted = 500 square meters

Ayden's goal = Atleast 80% of the wall

Area covered by Ayden = 415 square meters

Calculation:

`80\%* 500\\\\=(80)/(100)* 500\\\\= 400\text{ square meter}`

Thus, Ayden's goal is to atleast cover 400 square meter of wall.

Since,

`415 > 400`

Thus, Ayden met his goal of painting atleast 80% of 500 square meters of a house's walls.
