The percentage represented by the shaded area is 72.5%

What percent is represented by the shaded area?

from the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The figure

Where, we have

Shaded = 1 whole and 45 units

Also, we have

Wholes = 2

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

Shaded Fraction = Shaded/Wholes

So, we have

Shaded Fraction = (1 + 0.45)/2

Shaded Fraction = (1.45)/2

Evaluate

Shaded Fraction = 72.5%

Hence, the percentage represented by the shaded area is 72.5%
