77.78%

1) Considering that this rectangle is made up of 18 squares

2) Then we can solve it by setting a proportion:

18 --------------- 100%

14 ---------------- x

Cross multiplying it, since it is a proportion we have:

18x = 1400 Divide both sides by 32

x =77.78

3) So we can say that the shaded squares represent 77.78% of the rectangle.
