36%

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 100 squares of equal size

There are 36 squares that are shaded

Answer 2

Answer:

36%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, count how many squares there are. There are 36 shaded squares according to my count.

Then, since we are trying to find what percent 36 is out of 100, we divide the part (P) by the total (T).

36/100= 0.36

Multiply that number by 100 and you have your percentage!
