Question

Determine what percentage of the picture is shaded.

• A. $20\%$
• B. $25\%$
• C. $60\%$
• D. $75\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $75\%$

Part (shaded portion) = 6
Whole (total number of parts) = 8
$\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}=\frac{\%}{100}$

Hence, percentage of shaded portion $=\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\times 100$
$=\frac{6}{8}\times 100$
$=\frac{3}{4}\times 100$
$=75$%
