Calculate Whole Grains Goal: Calculate 30% of the total carbohydrates Osvoldo ate to find out his goal for whole grains.30% of 220 grams = 0.30×220= 66 grams
Compare Whole Grains Intake: Compare the amount of whole grains Osvoldo ate with his goal. Osvoldo ate 55 grams of whole grains, but his goal was 66 grams.
Determine Goal Achievement: Determine if Osvoldo met his goal.Since 55 grams is less than 66 grams, Osvoldo did not meet his goal.
