Lizzy: Calvin has been saving his hair clippings after each haircut to make a wig for his dog. He has gotten 8 haircuts and knows that he needs 2 more to reach his goal. What percentage towards his goal is he?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
His goal is 10 haircuts because 8 + 2 = 10. He is 80% there because (8 / 10) x 100 = 80. Final answer: 80.
