Question

The 20 squares of the grid. 11 squares are shaded what percentage is shaded?

Answer 1

65%

Explanation:

if there are 20 squares assume that 20 is equivalent to a 100% as a whole and only 11 squares are shaded therefore if 20 = 100% then

Let x be the percentage

Divide both sides by 20

Equation: 20x/20 = 100/20

----> x = 5

Each Number is equivalent to 5 percent.

therefore 11 = 65%
