To model a desert community where 6% of the community consists of shops, we need to establish a relationship between the number of squares and the number of shops.
Let’s denote the total number of squares in the community as \( T \). Since 6% of the community is shops, this means:
\[
\text{Number of shops} = 0.06 \times T
\]
Now, let's evaluate each of the statements provided:
1. **6 shops**:
\[
6 = 0.06 \times T \implies T = \frac{6}{0.06} = 100
\]
If there are 100 total squares, then 6 of them are shops.
2. **16 shops**:
\[
16 = 0.06 \times T \implies T = \frac{16}{0.06} \approx 266.67
\]
Since T must be a whole number, this scenario is not valid in the context of a complete square count.
3. **60 shops**:
\[
60 = 0.06 \times T \implies T = \frac{60}{0.06} = 1000
\]
In this case, if there are 1000 total squares, then 60 of them are shops, which is valid.
4. **94 shops**:
\[
94 = 0.06 \times T \implies T = \frac{94}{0.06} \approx 1566.67
\]
Again, this is not a valid total because \( T \) must be a whole number.
### Summary
From this analysis, the valid configurations for the desert community where 6% consists of shops are:
- If 6 shops are present, then there are 100 squares in total.
- If 60 shops are present, then there are 1000 squares in total.
The numbers 16 and 94 do not represent valid total squares in this model.
So, the desert community could be modeled with either:
1. 100 squares with 6 shops (6%).
2. 1000 squares with 60 shops (6%).
More elaborate features could be added based on the environment, such as types of shops, adjacency rules, community activities, etc., if needed.

Again, this is not a valid total because \( T \) must be a whole number.
