Problem
The figure below shows a large white circle with a number of smaller white and shaded circles in its interior. What fraction of the interior of the large white circle is shaded? 
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Solution
First, the total area of the radius circle is simply just when using our area of a circle formula. Now from here, we have to find our shaded area. This can be done by adding the areas of the -radius circles and add; then, take the area of the radius circle and subtract that from the area of the radius 1 circles to get our resulting complex area shape. Adding these up, we will get . So, our answer is .
Final answer
B
