Denise Henderson · Answer 1

He ate 11 grams of whole grain less than his goal.

Nickolas Church · Answer 2

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%.
