Question

9. On the grid below, 7 small squares are shaded. What percent of the grid is shaded?

Answer 1

There are 10 squares in each row and column.

10x10 = 100 squares in total.

Since 7 are shaded, to find the percentage in decimal form, divide the number of shaded square by the total number of squares:

7/100 = 0.07

As a percentage:

0.07 x 100 = 7%
