Answer 1

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Ayden had a goal of finishing painting at least 80% of the 500 square meters of a house's walls by today. He actually finished painting 415 square meters today.

Did Ayden meet his goal? Why?

Answer: Yes the goal of painting has been achieved by Ayden.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Area to be painted = 500 square meters

Total Area Painted by Ayden = 415 square meters

Painting Goal to be achieved  = 80%

We need to find whether he achieved his goal or not, so we need to find the percentage of area painted by ayden:

Percentage area covered by ayden =$\frac{415}{500}\times 100=83\%$

As the percentage are covered is more than the required percentage, Hence we can say that the goal of painting has been achieved by Ayden.

Answer 2
