Noor shades 30 squares of a hundred-square grid at the school store.

Percent is a comparison with 100. On a complete hundred grid, the shaded count and the percent are the same number for different reasons: one is a count of squares, the other is a rate per hundred.

Problem 1 of 4. A short entry task, a model, guided examples, then a new independent try. Frames are optional.

A 10×10 grid has 30 squares shaded. What percent is shaded?
