Shaded portions can be represented as decimals, fractions or percentages.
The model that represents 85% is: model A
To do this, we simply test each model.
Model (a)
Given that
[tex]Total = 20[/tex]
[tex]Shaded =17[/tex]
So, the percentage that is shaded is:
[tex]\%Shaded = \frac{Shaded}{Total} \times 100\%[/tex]
[tex]\%Shaded = \frac{17}{20} \times 100\%[/tex]
[tex]\%Shaded = \frac{1700}{20} \%[/tex]
[tex]\%Shaded = 85 \%[/tex]
This means that model A represents 85%.
