Question

unit test
each square below represents one whole.
what percent is represented by the shaded area?

Explanation:

Step1: Count total equal parts

Each square is split into 4 equal triangles, so 2 squares have $2 \times 4 = 8$ total parts.

Step2: Count shaded parts

Count the shaded triangles: there are 7 shaded parts.

Step3: Calculate the percentage

Divide shaded parts by total parts, multiply by 100: $\frac{7}{8} \times 100 = 87.5$

Answer:

87.5%
