Question
Each large rectangle below represents one whole. A rectangular model partitioned into 5 equal parts. 5 parts are shaded. A rectangular model partitioned into 5 equal parts. 4 parts are shaded.What percent is represented by the shaded area?
Solution
The first rectangle is completely shaded, which represents 100% of the whole.
The second rectangle has 4 out of 5 parts shaded. To find out what percent this represents, you can divide the number of shaded parts by the total number of parts and then multiply by 100.
So, (4 ÷ 5) x 100 = 80%
Therefore, the shaded area represents 80% of the second rectangle.
