Leon’s goal was to save $100 in a year, but he saved $120. What percent of his goal did he reach?

Question

%

Answer 1

To find the percentage of the goal that Leon reached, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Amount Saved}}{\text{Goal}} \right) \times 100 \]

In this case, Leon saved $120 and his goal was $100. Plugging in these values:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{120}{100}\right) \times 100 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \text{Percentage} = 1.2 \times 100 = 120% \]

Leon reached 120% of his goal.
