Question

The large rectangle below represents one whole.

What percent is represented by the shaded area?

Answer 1

Answer: 44%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 25 squares in the rectangle. This means that the percentage of each square is:

= 4%

There are 11 shaded squares so the percentage represented is:

= 11 * 4%

= 44%
