Question

Jenny was given a grid with 80 squares. She had to shade in 25% of the squares. How many squares did she shade in?

Answer 1

Jenny shaded in 20 squares.

Explanation:

Part = Percent (decimal form) • Whole

To find how many squares Jenny shaded, we must multiply the decimal form of 20% by the whole - 80.

25 ÷ 100 = 0.25

0.25 • 80 = 20
