Answer:
[tex]\%Percent = 30 \%[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Shaded = 6\ cubes[/tex]
[tex]Box = 5\ x\ 4[/tex]
Required
Determine the percentage of the shaded cubes
First, we calculate the number of boxes:
[tex]Box = 5\ x\ 4[/tex]
Express as multiplication
[tex]Box = 5\ *\ 4[/tex]
[tex]Box = 20[/tex]
This implies that there are 20 cubes in the box.
The percentage of the shaded cubes is:
[tex]\%Percent = \frac{Shaded}{Box} * 100\%[/tex]
[tex]\%Percent = \frac{6}{20} * 100\%[/tex]
[tex]\%Percent = \frac{6* 100}{20} \%[/tex]
[tex]\%Percent = \frac{600}{20} \%[/tex]
[tex]\%Percent = 30 \%[/tex]
30% were shaded
