Percentages are like fractions and are used to representhow much out of 100
When representing percentages using “area”, we dividethe “whole” unit into 100 little boxes
If the “whole” box is shaded,then 100% of the area isshaded
If we shade half of the box,then 50% of the area is shaded
If only one unit is shaded then1% of the area is shaded
