Answer:

About 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of a point on the un-shaded region will be given by;

Area of the shaded region/total area

Considering that the circles are of the same size, then the length of the square is 2d

Area of the square = 4d²

Area of the shaded = (4d² -4π(d/2)²

                                = 4d² -πd², but π = 22/7

                                = 6/7d²

Probability = (6/7d² ÷ 4d²) × 100%

                  = (6/28 d²) × 100%

                  = 21.42 %

Therefore; the answer is about 20%
