There are 32 total boxes. Only 14 of the boxes in the grid have an x inside of the box. We can find what percent of the boxes have an x in them by making a fraction. \(\frac{14}{32}\) represents the number of boxes that have an x in them out of all the boxes in the grid.
\(\frac{14}{32}\) can be reduced to \(\frac{7}{16}\) by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 14 and 32 which is 2.
7 ÷ 16 = 0.4375
0.4375 × 100 = 43.75%
Therefore, 43.75% of the boxes have an x inside of them.
