WHAT PERCENTAGE IS ILLUSTRATED

The following steps would be useful to find the percentage illustrated in a shape.

Step 1 :

Count the total number of sections in the given picture.

Step 2 :

Count the number of shaded portions.

Step 3 :

Write the number of shaded portion in the numerator and total number of portions in the denominator.

Step 4 :

In step 3, if the denominator is not 100, we have to convert the denominator to 100 using multiplication. 

Example 1 :

What percentage of the shape is green?

Solution :

Total number of sections = 100.

Number of shaded portions = 71.

Percentage of shaded portions = 71/100.

So, 71% of the shape is green.

Example 2 :

What percentage of the shape is shaded?

Solution :

Total number of sections = 4.

Number of shaded portions = 1.

Percentage of shaded portions = 1/4.

In order to convert the denominator as 100, we have to multiply 4 by 25.

Then, we have 

= (1/4)  (25/25)

= 25/100

= 25%

So, 25% of the shape is shaded.

Example 3 :

What percentage of the shape is shaded?

Solution :

Total number of sections = 2.

Number of shaded portions = 1.

Percentage of shaded portions = 1/2.

In order to convert the denominator as 100, we have to multiply 2 by 50.

=  (1 / 2)  (50 / 50)

=  50/100

=  50%

So, 50% of the shape is shaded.

Example 4 :

What percentage of the shape is shaded?

Solution :

Total number of sections = 100.

Number of shaded portions = 55.

Percentage of shaded portions = 55/100.

So, 55% of the shape is shaded.

Example 5 :

What percentage of the shape is rounded?

Solution :

Total number of stars = 10.

Number of stars rounded = 2.

Percentage of rounded stars = 2/10.

In order to convert the denominator as 100, we have to multiply 10 by 10.

=  (2 / 10)  (10 / 10)

=  20 / 100

So, 20% of the shape is shaded.
