Answer:
30%
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must first count how many squares there are in the large rectangle.
There are 20 (twenty) squares in the large rectangle.
Now count how many squares are shaded orange.
There are six squares shaded orange.
Next, write the terms as a fraction.
number of orange squares/number of squares in total
6/20
Next, multiply the denominator by a number to equal one hundred.
6/20
6 • 5/20 • 5
30/100
Finally, turn the fraction into a percentage.
30/100 = 30%
Therefore, 30% represents the shaded area.
