17. Remember one whole is equal to 100%
Steps to success
Remember one whole is equal to 100%
Find the percentage of parts shaded
Check to see if the unshaded part + the shaded part = 100
For shapes not divided into 100 parts. Use this formula to work out what percentage each part is worth;
100 ÷ No. of parts in a shape = % of each part
÷ 2 (no. of parts) = 50%
Each part of this shape = 50%
So 50% is shaded blue
50% is shaded white
