Question

Osvoldo has a goal of getting at least 30% of his grams of carbohydrates each day from whole grains. Today, he ate 220 grams of carbohydrates, and 5 grams were from whole grains. Did Osvoldo meet his goal? Why?..

Answer 1

Answer: Osvoldo did not meet his goal.

Explanation:

Total carbohydrate ate by Osvoldo = 220 g

carbohydrate from grains = 55 g

Percentage of carbohydrate of grain is

\begin{gathered}=\dfrac{\text { carbohydrate taken from grains}}{\text {Total carbohydrate}} \times 100\\\\= \dfrac{55}{220} \times 100= 25 \%\end{gathered}

=

Total carbohydrate

carbohydrate taken from grains

×100

=

220

55

×100=25%

Goal of getting carbohydrate from grains = at least 30%

but he ate only 25% of carbohydrate

Hence, Osvoldo did not meet his goal as he ate less carbohydrate than his goal.
