Answer:

$\%Percent = 30 \%$

Explanation:

Given

$Shaded = 6\ cubes$

$Box = 5\ x\ 4$

Required

Determine the percentage of the shaded cubes

First, we calculate the number of boxes:

$Box = 5\ x\ 4$

Express as multiplication

$Box = 5\ *\ 4$

Box = 20

This implies that there are 20 cubes in the box.

The percentage of the shaded cubes is:

$\%Percent = (Shaded)/(Box) * 100\%$

$\%Percent = (6)/(20) * 100\%$

$\%Percent = (6* 100)/(20) \%$

$\%Percent = (600)/(20) \%$

$\%Percent = 30 \%$

30% were shaded
