Question

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

Answer 1

Answer: 6%

You won't type in the percent sign as that's already taken care of

=============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 6 squares shaded out of 100 total. This means we have 6/100 = 0.06 = 6% of the squares shaded. The term "percent" means "per 100" or "for every 100".

Take note that there are 10 rows and 10 columns, meaning there are 10*10 = 100 squares total, either shaded or not shaded.
