Question

Osvoldo has a goal of getting at least 30% percent 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 Osvoldo meet his goal?

Answer 1

Answer: Osvoldo did not meet his goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

If he ate 220 grams of carbohydrates today and 55 grams were from whole grains, it means that the percentage of the carbohydrates he ate today that came from whole grains is

55/220 × 100 = 25%

Since he has a goal of getting at least 30% percent of his grams of carbohydrates each day from whole grains, then he did not meet his goal because 25% is lesser than 30% and he needs 30% or more
