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 55 grams were from whole grains. Did Osvoldo meet his goal? Why? , Osvoldo ate grams of whole grains than his goal.

Answer 1

The basis would be 30%. This is the amount of whole grains to the amount of carbohydrates, multiplied by 100.

Percent mass = (55/220)*100

Percent mass = 25%

Since the condition is getting AT LEAST 30%, Osvoldo did not reach his goal. He only achieved 25% which is less than the required 30%.

Answer 2

Answer: Osvoldo did not meet his goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total carbohydrate ate by Osvoldo = 220 g

carbohydrate from grains = 55 g

Percentage of carbohydrate of grain is

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

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.
