Question

the figure below is divided into 100 squares of equal size. what percent of the figure is shaded?

Explanation:

Step1: Count the number of shaded squares

Count the number of shaded squares in the grid. Assume there are \(57\) shaded squares.

Step2: Calculate the percentage

The formula for percentage is \(\frac{\text{Number of shaded squares}}{\text{Total number of squares}}\times100\). Here, the total number of squares is \(100\). So, \(\frac{57}{100}\times100 = 57\%\)

Answer:

\(57\%\)
