Given:
Goal = 250 cans
Number of collected cans = 290
To find:
The percent of their goal they achieved.
Solution:
The percent of their goal they achieved is:
[tex]\text{Required percent}=\dfrac{\text{Number of collected cans}}{\text{Goal}}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\text{Required percent}=\dfrac{290}{250}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\text{Required percent}=\dfrac{29}{25}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\text{Required percent}=29\times 4[/tex]
[tex]\text{Required percent}=116[/tex]
Therefore, they achieved 116% of their goal.
