Question

What $\%$ of this figure is shaded $?$

Answer 1

Total shaded region $=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}$

$=\frac{2+1+1}{8}$

$=\frac{4}{8}\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}$

Unshaded region $=1-\frac{1}{2}$

$=\frac{1}{2}$

Required percentage $=\frac{{\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}}{1}\times 100$

$\frac{1}{2}\times 100$

$=50\%$

Hence$,$the shaded region is $50\%$ of the complete region.
