Question

There is a rectangle made of 50 small squares and 19 are shaded in. What is the percentage of the shaded part?

Answer 1

38%

Step-by-step explanation

We have that the rectangle is made up of 50 small squares and 19 of the squares are shaded.

To find the percentage of the shaded part, we have to divide the number of shaded squares by the total number of squares and mutliply it by 100 (per-cent).

That is:

`\begin{gathered} (19)/(50)\cdot\text{ 100} \\ =\text{ }38\text{ \%} \end{gathered}`

The percentage of the shaded part is 38%.
