To find the percentage of the goal that the yogurt shop met, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Percentage met} = \left( \frac{\text{Cups sold}}{\text{Goal}} \right) \times 100
\]
Given:
- Cups sold = 112
- Goal = 140
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Percentage met} = \left( \frac{112}{140} \right) \times 100
\]
First, calculate the fraction:
\[
\frac{112}{140} = 0.8
\]
Now, multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage:
\[
0.8 \times 100 = 80
\]
Thus, the yogurt shop met **80%** of their goal.
