Question

The square below represents one whole. What percent is represented by the shaded area?

Answer 1

Count the smaller squares in the larger square. it is a 10 x 10 square so in total there are 100 small squares there is 100% in one whole so then 100% / 100 squares tells us how many percent is one square which is 1%

then you multiply one percent by how many squares there are so 1% x 6 is 6%

6% is the answer

Answer 2

6%. There are 100 blocks, and 6 are shaded. 6 out of 100 is 6%

Hope this helps!
