Answer:
60% of the wall is painted.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the picture attached,
There are total 40 squares. Out of 40 squares 16 squares are clear (not painted).
Hence painted squares on the wall = 40 - 16
= 24
Formula to calculate the percentage of painted squares is
= [tex]\frac{\text{Painted squares}}{\text{Total squares}}\times 100[/tex] = [tex]\frac{24}{40}\times 100[/tex]
= 60%
Therefore, 60% of the wall is painted.
