Question

The percent that represents the unshaded region in the figure is

• A. 75%
• B. 50%
• C. 40%
• D. 60%

Answer 1

The correct option is C 40%

Given, total parts $=10\times 10=100$
Number of shaded parts = 60
$\therefore$ Number of unshaded parts = 40
i.e., 40 parts out of 100 parts are unshaded.
i.e., Percent of unshaded parts
$=\frac{40}{100}=40\%$
(Percentages are numerators of fractions with denominator 100.)
