Percentage of a grid

Grade 5 · Ratio, rates and percentages

A grid has some squares shaded, and the student gives the shaded (or the unshaded) part as a percentage.

On a 10 × 10 grid the answer is just the count, so grids of 50, 25 and 20 squares come up too, where the count has to be scaled up to a hundred. Some questions ask for the blank part, which is where marks are usually lost.
