1 answer

To determine how many of the squares are colored, you need to know the percentage of squares that are colored. If the figure contains a total of 100 squares, the number of colored squares can be calculated using the following formula:

\[ \text{Number of colored squares} = \left( \text{Percentage of colored squares} \right) \times 100 \]

For example, if 25% of the squares are colored, then:

\[ \text{Number of colored squares} = 25% \times 100 = 25 \text{ squares} \]

If you provide the percentage of how many squares are colored, I can help calculate the specific number of colored squares.
