Answer 1

please see detailed answers below

Explanation:

a) there are one hunred squares in total.

there are 10 + 9 = 19 white (unshaded) ones.

so there are 100 -19 = 81 shaded ones.

(81/100) X 100 = 81%.

81% of 72, 200

= (81/100) X 72, 200

= 0.81 X 72, 200

= 58, 482

b) there are 5 equal rectangles. they make up a whole (ie 100%)

the shaded part (1 rectangle) = 100/5 = 20%.
