Find how many squares are currently shaded, then determine how many need to be shaded to reach 75% of the total.

• Count the total number of squares in the figure.
• 75% of total squares = \(\frac{75}{100} \times \text{Total} = \frac{3}{4} \times \text{Total}\).
• Number to add = Target shaded squares - Currently shaded squares.

From the figure: 8 more squares must be shaded to reach 75%.

Final Answer: 8
