Answer 2

Answer:

40% $(\frac{40}{100})$

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given description of the 10 by 10 grid, 40 out of 100 squares are shaded.

Convert into a Fraction:

$\frac{Shaded}{Squares} =\frac{40}{100}$

Convert the fraction into a decimal:

$\frac{40}{100} =0.4$

Convert the decimal into a percent:

$0.4*100=40$

40%

So, the grid should represent 40%.
