Ayden meet his goal, because I paint 83% of the house that is greater than 80%

Step-by-step explanation:

to know the part that he painted with respect to the total we have to divide the amount that he paint by the total amount

415ft² / 500ft² = 0.83

if we want it as a percentage we simply multiply it by 100

0.83 * 100 = 83%

now we compare the percentage that I paint with what was his goal

83% > 80%
