Question

A square divided in 25 equal parts, all 25 of which are shaded Another square divided in 25 equal parts, 13 of which are shaded What percent is represented by the shaded area?

Answer 1

Answer: 76%

Explanation:

In the first square, all 25 parts are shaded.

In another sqaure, 13 out of 25 qual parts are shaded.

Now, in both the squares

Total parts = 25+25 =50

Total shaded parts = 25+13 = 38

The percent of shaded area =
`\frac{\text{Total shaded parts}}{\text{Total parts}}*100\%`

`=(38)/(50)*100\%\\\\= 76\%`

Hence, 76% is represented by the shaded area.
