Answer 1

Answer:

60% of the wall is painted.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

There are total 40 squares. Out of 40 squares 16 squares are clear (not painted).

Hence painted squares on the wall = 40 - 16

                                                           = 24

Formula to calculate the percentage of painted squares is

= $\frac{\text{Painted squares}}{\text{Total squares}}\times 100$                                                                                               = $\frac{24}{40}\times 100$

= 60%

Therefore, 60% of the wall is painted.
