No.

30% of 220 is 66 and 55 is less than 66

Answer:

Osvoldo did not meet his goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that 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

Carbohydrate from whole grains = 55 grams

We need to check whether Osvoldo meet his goal or not.

We have to check whether 55 is at least 30% of 220 or not.

$\dfrac{55}{220}\times 100=25\%$

Since 55 is 25% of 220, therefore he gets only 25% of his grams of carbohydrates each day from whole grains.

Hence, Osvoldo did not meet his goal.
