Osvaldo 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 55 grams were from whole grains. Did Osvaldo meet his goal? Why?

Answer :

He ate 11 grams of whole grain less than his goal.
So whenever you see %, it's like a *.01, so 30% turns into .3

Now take 55/220, .25

.3>.25, so he did NOTmeet his goal. To get decimal to percent multiply by 100. He wanted to meet a 30% goal and he only got 25%.
