Why is the grid in Example 1 a good way to
represent a percent?

Answer:
percent means per hundred
Between the 100 squares, 60 of them are shaded
so you do 60/100
it's kind of like correcting tests, you have 100 questions, you got 80 of them right so its going to be 80/100
when you calculate percentage, you do the fraction x 100
so it's 60/100 = 0.6 x100 = 60%
hope that answers your question
