Percent means per hundred.
So, we need an <u>equivalent ratio</u> that will tell us how many pieces would be shaded out of 100 pieces per whole.
Ratio: is 7:4 because 7 are shaded and 4 because the two squares are divided into fours

so also Multiply 7 by 25
7 x 25 is 175
175% is represented by the shaded area.
Here's a picture I made of what the squares should look like:
