When we say percent it's like saying...

• "out of this world"

• "out of 100"

• "out of control"

• "out of sight"

Answer explanation

A percent, or percentage, is a special fraction that always has 100 as the denominator. The fraction 50/100 can also be read as 50 out of 100.

What percentage of the model is shaded?

• 75%

• 55%

• 25%

• 15%

Answer explanation

25 squares are shaded in the model. There are 100 total squares in the model. The fraction of the model shaded is 25/100. A percent, or percentage, is a special fraction that always has 100 as the denominator. Because the bottom of a percent is always 100, we don’t even write it. We remove the 100 and put a % instead. 25/100 = 25%.
