Question

Write the percent for shaded portion.

  1. 40%
  2. 30%
  3. 20%
  4. 10%

hintHint:

 Fractions are represented as a numerical value, which defines a part of a whole. A fraction can be a portion or section of any quantity out of a whole, where the whole can be any number, a specific value, or a thing. Let us understand this concept using an example. The following figure shows a pizza that is divided into 8 equal parts. Now, if we want to express one selected part of the pizza, we can express it as 1/8 which shows that out of 8 equal parts, we are referring to 1 part.

The correct answer is: 10%


    Here, Shaded portion = 1 over 10, this means 1 out of 10 parts is shaded,
    Now to convert the fraction into decimal multiply the number by 100 and add the symbol %.
    1 over 10 cross times 100 equals 10 straight percent sign
    Thus, the shaded portion constitutes 10%.
