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
