Explain the steps you would take to model a desert community in which 77% of the area is covered with houses.

To model this, I would use a 10 x 10 grid. To show exactly 77%, you would shade 77 out of the 100 boxes that would be created by the grid. This will be the most basic way to model what exactly 77% is representing. To make it more realistic, you may want to space out the 77 boxes.
